Garlic Pork is a savory dish commonly associated with Caribbean cuisine, particularly influenced by Portuguese culinary traditions. This flavorful recipe typically combines pork marinated in a mix of mashed garlic, vinegar, citrus juice, and a variety of spices such as thyme or oregano, then slow-cooked or pan-fried to perfection. The garlic contributes antioxidants and potential immune-boosting benefits, while the citrus juices provide vitamin C. Pork is a rich source of protein and essential nutrients like zinc and B-vitamins. However, depending on the cut of meat used, the dish can be high in saturated fat and sodium if additional salt is added during preparation. Consider pairing Garlic Pork with steamed vegetables or fiber-rich sides to balance the meal’s nutritional profile.
