PORK WITH LEEKS AND RED WINE

Method
- Preheat the oven 170C Place the oil and butter into a large heavy based fry pan. Heat to medium.
- Add the meat in batches so you don’t overload the pan and brown on all sides until brown.
- Remove with slotted spoon and place into an oven dish. Repeat with remaining pork.
- Add the leeks to the fry pan and stir to coat in any juices in the pan.
- Add the red wine and allow to bubble.
- Using a wooden spoon stir the pan removing any sediment stuck to the bottom.
- Pour the wine and leeks over the pork and season with salt and plenty of cracked pepper.
- Cover the oven dish with a lid and bake for 45 minutes or until the pork is tender.
- This can be served with plenty of crusty bread or with buttery mashed potato.

I once had a dish similar to this when I lived in Greece. It is hearty and rich would commonly be served as a mezze (small plate) in winter.
