Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 1 kg (2 1/4 lb.) lean boneless Pork, in cubes
- 250 ml (1 cup) red wine
- 1-2 tbsp. Coriander or Cilantro seeds, coarsely crushed
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 6 tbsp. sunflower or vegetable oil
Method
- Marinate the meat in the wine and spices for at least 4 hours, overnight if possible.
- Lift the meat our of the marinade and dry on kitchen paper. Keep the marinade for later.
- Heat 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.
- Wipe 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.
- Almost 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.
