Pork & gammon

Afelia

Main Serves 4 30 min
A simple Greek and Cypriot dish of pork marinated overnight with crushed coriander seeds then simmered in white wine. It's fresh and summery and works well with strips of spare rib steak, boneless pork chops or pork leg steaks. Serve with boiled rice or bulgur and a dollop of yoghurt. This recipe will need overnight marinating so plan ahead.
