Steps:

  • 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
