Portuguese fried pork chops, also known as "costeletas de porco fritas" in Portuguese, are a traditional dish from Portugal that consists of pork chops that are marinated and then fried until crispy and golden brown.

To make Portuguese fried pork chops, you will need to marinate the pork chops.  After marinating, the pork chops are then fried in hot oil until crispy and golden brown.

This dish is often served with traditional Portuguese sides like sautéed potatoes and a salad or vegetables. It's a hearty and delicious meal that is popular throughout Portugal and is perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion.

This recipe is very unclear on measurements. I seasoned the chop but I didn’t French then enough to have marinade left in the bowl. What’s to drench them in beside mom juice and hot sauce. I don’t want either over powering in taste.

Eddy

If there isn't any marinade left, you should not add additional sauce or lemon juice Mark, you can however fry the potatoes in the olive oil you friend the pork chops in, it will still contain a lot of flavor.

Step 6 says continue till done, doesnt say to put porkchops back in pan? Hiw much olive oil. Doesnt give much sauce to put over rice. Measuements would be handy

Eddy
Hi Colleen, step 6 is only for the sauce. As far as olive oil, hot sauce etc, it says to taste to allow you to add as much as you want/like.
