Ingredients for Afelia Pork In Coriander Wine

  • Pork Loin
  • Sea Salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Dry Red Wine
  • 2 tbsp coriander seeds, lightly crushed
  • Olive Oil

How to Make Afelia Pork In Coriander Wine

  1. Season the pork cubes generously with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of lightly crushed coriander seeds with 1 cup of dry red wine. Add the pork cubes, ensuring they are well coated.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably 4, stirring once or twice during this time.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pork cubes from the wine marinade, reserving the marinade.
  6. Brown the pork cubes in batches, turning frequently, until well browned on all sides. This should take approximately 10 minutes.
  7. Pour the reserved wine marinade into the pot with the browned pork.
  8. Add 1/2 cup of water (or enough to just barely cover the meat).
  9. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  10. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30-45 minutes, or until the pork is fork-tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. If the liquid evaporates too quickly, add a little more water as needed.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
