Orelha de porco

Orelha de porco (or orelheira com molho verde) is a traditional dish consisting of pig's ear served with a green sauce. The pig's ear is typically boiled until tender, then either served as is or grilled for added texture. It is then mixed with the so-called "green sauce" (molho de verde), which is a fresh, tangy mixture often made with ingredients such as parsley (or coriander), garlic, olive oil, vinegar, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. This combination creates a flavorful and refreshing accompaniment to the rich and slightly chewy pig's ear, making it a popular appetizer or petisco in Portuguese cuisine.
