What does the term “portion” mean?

Leviticus 7:35 (ESV)

35 This is the portion of Aaron and of his sons from the LORD’s food offerings, from the day they were presented to serve as priests of the LORD.

The word “portion” is usually translated as “anointing.” In this instance it carries both concepts simultaneously.
