1. Tip the flour, paprika, salt and pepper into a food bag and toss in the pork until coated. Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole and fry the pork until brown on all sides. Add them rosemary, garlic and bay, then fry for 1 min more. Pour in the wine and bring to the boil, scraping the bottom of the casserole. Lower to a simmer and throw in the lemon zest.
2. Cover the casserole, place on the lowest heat and simmer for 1 hr until the pork is tender. Add a splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick. Just before serving, stir in the lemon juice and check the seasoning.

Why not try...Lemony lamb chops

Grill lamb chops for 5-6 mins each side until pink. Meanwhile, mix together the finely grated zest 1 lemon with finely chopped parsley and 1 finely chopped garlic clove. Sprinkle over the lamb to serve.

  This was really lemony. We made it using leftover roast pork and it adapted well.

  We used pork fillet for this which was lovely with the long cooking but was not sticky in the slightest and found lemon was very over powering. Would use half lemon next time and not cover it to let some of the liquid evaporate

  I made this last night. It was easy to make and it smelt lovely but the taste did not live up to my expectations. I did not find it sticky. Not sure if i would make it again or not, It was edible but not as enjoyable as i had hoped.

  I made this last night, but halved the recipe for 2 instead. It worked well, smelt lovely but I would have to say it is quite sharp and lemony and I ended up adding just a touch of sugar to balance the sharpness. Sauce thickened up but I'm not sure I would class it as 'sticky'. Will make again.

  Actually found this a bit bland, despite the comments above. A shame as it did smell amazing.

  I agree that it was way too lemony. Would either use half a lemon next time or put in a spoon of honey to balance the flavours a bit. Having said that, the pork was beautiful and tender, so I would persevere!

  I personally really enjoyed the strong flavours in this dish, I guess they're not for everyone though.

  having read all the comments about this recipe I added a good splash of Marsala before the white wine. I also added only the juice of half a lemon as my husband is not too keen on things that are too bitter. The result was delicious a lovely rich flavour and definitely sticky. By the way I have never commented before or read others. Nice to "talk" to fellow foodies. Karen Dow

  I used an orange instead of lemon and it worked well.
