Succulent Pork Chops and Crusty Ribs (Goan Recipe)


For 6 large pork chops you will need 1 cup of vinegar, three heaped tablespoons of recheido(a fiery hot marinade made with red chillies and spices ground in  vinegar), 1 teaspoon of sugar, and salt as per taste. Marinate pork chops in vinegar(preferably coconut toddy vinegar) and recheido masala. Apply salt to the chops before soaking them in the marinade.
Leave the chops in the recheido marinade overnight or for at least 4 to 5 hours.  When the chops are ready to fry, heat 1/2 cup oil or pork lard in a pan and fry chops till done.
Serve hot with fried potato chips or a crusty loaf of bread. In Goa, pork chops stuffed into a pav(small loaf of the unique Goa bread) with salad and gravy are a popular street food!
