Afelia - Cypriot pork in wine and coriander
Hello. Afelia is a traditional Cypriot dish of pork marinated in coriander and red wine. You can either use a lean cut of meat like I have and cook it in under 30 mins, or a shoulder cut and cooked for over an hour, preferably in the oven. Either way Is delicious.
My yiayia used to make this dish so I have fond memories of it.
It is proof you can get a tasty dish with few ingredients. I have also included the link for my pourgouri recipe which is the traditional accompaniment to this dish.
Enjoy :) #cypriot #pork
