You may not think you can lose weight while on a diet which includes portuguese aviz pork with clams but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat portuguese aviz pork with clams or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself these kinds of food one day per week. I eat a healthy diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 1600 calories each day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been eating this way for the last few weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any vitamins or diet drinks. I have simply been careful of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

I also think it helps to have some support when dieting and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to show you how to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Portuguese Aviz Pork with Clams

Any type of lean pork can be used. Use the smallest clams you can find – cherrystones or even smaller. The Portuguese marinate their meat for at least two days, but marinating overnight is sufficient for a spicy flavor.

1 (2 pound) pork loin, cut into 1-inch squares
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons paprika
Dry white table wine
2 cloves pressed garlic
2 bay leaves, crumbled
2 to 3 tablespoons oil or lard
2 dozen cherrystone clams
3 cups cooked rice

Put pork cubes into a nonreactive bowl; sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika. Cover with dry white table wine. Add garlic and bay leaves. Cover; allow to stand overnight or at least 8 hours. Drain; save juices.

Brown the pork slowly in oil or lard. Add the juices from the marinated meat. Cook, uncovered, 30 minutes.

Add clams in shells. Cover; cook 10 to 12 minutes longer until clams are opened. Don’t cook too long or clams will become tough.

Serve on or around a bed of cooked rice, which may or may not have been cooked with a little clam broth.

Served with chilled white wine. A Portuguese dry white wine would be very nice. Serves 6.

NOTE: This marinade for pork can also be used for pork chops. The marinated pork chops are then fried or baked.
