PORK WITH LEEKS AND RED WINE

pork w leeks

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.
