Method

  1. Rinse the pork chops and check that no bone fragments remain. Drain them well.
  2. Season the meat with salt and pepper and add oregano to your taste.
  3. Squeeze the sour orange over the meat, avoiding letting the seeds fall in: they are bitter and unpleasant in the mouth.
  4. Let the meat rest in this marinade for at least two hours.

  5. In a casserole, heat the lard. Add the finely julienned onion and crushed garlic, and brown them.
  6. Add the meat with its marinade and add the dry wine.
  7. Cover the casserole and let it cook over medium-low heat, turning the meat from time to time so it cooks well on both sides.

  8. Do not let the sauce dry out: if it does, add a little more dry wine and continue cooking over low heat. Enjoy!
