Raxo (Spanish Garlic Pork) recipe....NOT "Lomo"

[simply B]

The more obscure Spanish recipes have been difficult for me to find...and I DO know how to research outside of a pretty extensive library of cookbooks.

So, it has taken me a bit of time but, for those of you who found the dish memorable, I have finally gotten close to re-creating the best version that I have tasted over multiple walks.

I must give credit where credit is due. This link (hard to find) served as the base of my explorations.

Raxo

Hello, Raxo is a typical way of preparing pork loin in Galicia (a region in northwest Spain), it’s a very simple recipe to prepare, requires little time and the result is awesome. Ingredients…

It re-heats well if spouse/SO or guests are late in arrival to the table. It has never been around long enough in this house to find out how it freezes.

I have no "pride of ownership" here. If you have a 'tried-and-true' better recipe, I would love to have it.

Mods - Thanks for moving this to the appropriate spot in the Forum as now I have a reference point. I thought there was a specific place for this post but could not find it.

"Metric Forum Members" - My apologies for not presenting in metric format as well as "English", it was careless on my part. Feel free to PM me if you wish the "metric" version and I will happily oblige over the next few days.

Future recipes will be grounded to both standards of measure. I am currently working on reverse-engineering another classic (to me, anyway) of "Pollo Cerveza". Anyone who overnighted and ate at 'Bar Albergue La Escuela' (just below Cebreiro) might be interested.
