As mentioned in the Jamaican Jerk Pork Tenderloin post, I recently got hold of some well-priced pork tenderloin and decided to create a couple of Caribbean dishes.

I recently got my hands on some well-priced pork tenderloin and decided to go with some Caribbean cuisine.

Rancho is a dish typical of Portuguese cuisine and originates from the Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro Province where “Trás-os-Montes” translates to “behind the mountains”. It is casserole-type of dish consisting mainly of beef, bacon, chorizo, garlic, chickpeas and pasta, although there are many variations on this. Rancho is a rich, hearty dish and should be enjoyed on cold, winter’s days with a good wine.
