What is the best meal you passed at a gathering and no one realized it was low carb?...mine was this one

Portugese Pork and Clams ...not one bite left ...
Ingredients
For the marinade:
6 red peppers grilled, peeled and seeded
2 tsp salt
½ bottle dry white wine
1 tbsp paprika
6 cloves garlic
4 bay leaves
500g/1lb 2oz pork leg, 2cm/1in dice
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tbsp tomato paste
500g/1lb 2oz clams
handful of coriander



Method
1. Make the marinade by blending together all the ingredients. Marinate the pork for at least two days.
2. Drain the pork from the marinade and sear in a hot, hot pan in batches until browned. Keep the drained marinade.
3. Put the chopped onions and the garlic into the pan and soften slowly, allowing a little colour. Replace the pork and gently stew for about ten minutes. Stir in tomato paste and the rest of the marinade and cook until tender and the sauce is quite thick.
4. Finish off by mixing the clams in with the pork.
5. Serve with coriander.

My Neighborhood group of the American Sewing Guild recently celebrated their 2nd 'Birthday". I had just started Induction and I knew that I needed something I loved to help me past all the other goodies. I brought this, made into small meatballs. I made the kids the same thing for dinner, so it wasn't that hard to do 2 batches.
