Preparation and cooking times

- cut pork into small pieces
- Finely crush coriander seeds with a pestle and mortar taking care to cover the mortar to stop the seeds jumping out. You can also use a rolling pin but keep covered with a tea towel or seeds will escape. Add to the pork with salt and pepper
- Leave to marinate in fridge for about 4 hours (or overnight)
- Pre-heat oven to 160C (325F/Mark 3)
- Heat some of the oil and fry meat on a high heat for a few minutes until golden and then add to tava or oven-proof dish
- Heat remaining oil, add onions and fry until soft and transluscent in colour
- Add wine and simmer for a few minutes
- Pour over meat and cover with lid or foil and cook for at least one hour until meat is soft
