2. Prepare the pork, in a bowl add the diced pork, pimento paste, garlic cloves, salt and black peper (when using pimento I normally omit as its already really salty). Mix everything together well. Then add the bay leaves and add the wine again mix well. Place in fridge and let it marinade at least 4 hours before, preferably leave it marinating overnight. https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/368965-pimentao-the-traditional-way.
