Instructions

  1. Season the pork pieces with salt, pepper and paprika.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large casserole and brown the meat in small batches until golden on all sides. Set aside.
  3. In the same pot, fry the sliced onions for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and let it perfume for a minute.
  4. Return the pork, deglaze with the white wine and reduce by half over high heat.
  5. Add the chopped tomatoes, bay leaf, oregano and just enough hot stock to cover. Cover and simmer very gently for 1 hour 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the lid for the last 15 minutes to thicken the sauce. Off the heat, stir in the lemon juice and zest, then the parsley.
  7. Adjust the seasoning and serve piping hot with roasted potatoes.

Variations and tips

Oven version. Cover the pot and bake at 160 °C for 1 hour 30 minutes; it's just as tender.

With what's available here. Replace the white wine with the same amount of chicken stock and add a spoonful of lemon juice.
