About Costeleta
Costeleta, or "pork chop" in Portuguese, is a popular dish in Portuguese cuisine, often grilled, pan-fried, or baked. This simple yet flavorful meal is typically prepared with fresh herbs, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice, enhancing its savory taste. Pork chops are a good source of protein, essential for muscle growth and repair, and provide vitamins like B12 and minerals such as zinc and iron, important for immunity and blood health. While costeleta is nutrient-rich, its health impact depends on preparation methods. Grilled or baked variations with minimal added fats tend to be healthier, while fried versions or those paired with heavy sauces may contribute to higher calorie and fat intake. Serve costeleta with vegetables, whole grains, or a fresh salad to create a balanced, wholesome meal inspired by Portuguese tradition.
