Pork with Red Wine and Coriander
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 head of garlic, excess papery skin removed, cut in half through its equator
- 2 cups red wine
- 3 tablespoons coriander seeds, cracked and wrapped in cheesecloth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh lemon juice to taste
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- Put the oil in a large deep skillet with a lid and place over medium-high heat.
- A minute later, add the pork and cook, undisturbed, until brown on one side, about 10 minutes.
- Stir once and add the garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, for about a minute.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of the wine, then the cheesecloth with the coriander.
- Turn the heat to low and cover.
- Adjust the heat so the mixture simmers gently.
- Cook for about an hour, until the pork is just about tender (You can prepare in advance up to this point; then cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days before proceeding.)
- Stir in the remaining red wine; cook for 2 or 3 minutes.
- Stir in the butter, then taste and add lemon juice as necessary.
- Stir in half the cilantro, then serve, garnished with the remaining cilantro.
