Afelia (Pork cooked in red wine and crushed coriander seeds)

Ingredients

• •2lbs (1kg) boned lean pork, diced
• •1 glass (200ml) red wine
• •1-2 tablespoons coriander seeds, crushed coarsely,
• •salt
• •freshly ground black pepper
• •1 stick cinnamon
• •6 tablespoons sunflower or vegetable oil

Directions

1. 1Marinate the meat in the wine and spices for at least 4 hours, overnight if possible.
2. 2Lift the meat our of the marinade and dry on kitchen paper. Keep the marinade for later.
3. 3Heat the oil in a heavy-based casserole and brown the cubes of meat a few at a time, until all are crisp and brown. Add more oil if necessary.
4. 4Wipe any excess oil from the pan and return all the meat. Pour over the marinade and enough cold water to just cover the meat. Cover the casserole with a lid and cook gently, either in the oven or on top for about 30 minutes or until the meat is tender.
5. 5Almost all of the liquid should have evaporated to leave a thick sauce. If necessary cook the afelia uncovered for a further 10 minutes to reduce excess liquid.
