Carne de porco à alentejana · Lisbon
Carne de porco à alentejana is the Alentejo-origin Lisbon supper: marinated pork sauteed with clams and lemon-coriander pickle, plated over fried potato cubes and bread for mopping the juices.
Carne de porco à alentejana came to Lisbon from the Alentejo with the rural-to-urban migration of the 19th century. The dish's improbable surf-and-turf marriage (pork and clams from the same red-pepper-paste marinade) is regional Portuguese cooking at its most distinctive; the practical truth is that the clams sweetened the rough farmhouse pork. Casa do Alentejo on Rua das Portas de Santo Antão (a 17th-century Moorish palace) is the canonical Lisbon address; O Magano in Campo de Ourique plates a sharper modern version; Solar dos Presuntos serves the classical preparation.
