🇵🇹 Portugal recipe

Bifana

Portugal's most beloved street food, the bifana is a deceptively simple sandwich of thinly pounded pork cutlets marinated in a punchy garlic and white wine sauce, served on a crusty bread roll. Found in every tasca and snack bar across the country, the bifana is proof that the simplest dishes are often the most satisfying. The key is the intensely flavoured cooking juices that soak into the bread.
