Greece - Afelia (Pork in Coriander & Wine)

By Addylicious

This is a Greek recipe for Pork that I copied from a magazine a few years ago. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the magazine. It was on Mediterranean Cooking, and I have since given it away to a friend.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs pork loin (cubed in 1-inch pieces)
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups dry red wine
• 2 tablespoons coriander seeds (crushed well)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

1 Season the pork cubes with the salt, and pepper.

2 Combine the coriander seeds with the wine in a large dish, add pork, and cover.

3 Refrigerate for 2-4 hours, stirring once or twice.

4 Heat oil in a large enough pot.

5 Using a slotted spoon, remove pork from the wine marinade, and reserve the marinade.

6 Brown pork, turning frequently,until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.

7 Add reserved marinade back into pot.

8 Add enough water to just cover the meat.

9 Bring to a boil.

10 Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer 30-45 minutes, until meat is fork tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.

11 Taste, and re season with more salt and pepper, if desired.
