How much of the spices are you supposed to use to marinate on the pork overnight and how much do you use on the pork when you’re going to cook it

Eddy
Please read the directions Gloria, it mentions everything there.

I make this all of the time I prefer using good quality beef or sometimes half beef and half pork and I make about 6 lb when I do. It's a favorite with my friends here in Florida but my favorite is using Portuguese Old spice and Pimenta Moída (Crushed Hot Red Peppers) etc

Can you do this in a slow cooker and if so how long?

Eddy
Yes, low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 4 to 6.

I'm so glad to have found this site. My Grandparents were Portuguese and made a lot of this food, but left no recipes. Thank you so much!
