Ok, finished cooking this today. Used a cote du rhone for the wine, served with rosemary olive bread. Although the flavors were unusual to my fiance and me, we weren’t crazy about it. Not bad, but I won’t be making it again. Next time I feel like braised pork I’ll stick to carnitas and salsa.

Any ideas on what to do if there’s a lot of goopy stuff (from the pork) floating to the top of the braising liquid? What causes that anyways? When I make carnitas (also from this site’s recipe) that’s not such a problem, because it fries away at the end.

don’t eat pork but would probably be nice with beef nonetheless. and coriander sounds great, could use a hint of lemon zest to add that tangy tang!!!

There’s nothing like freshly ground coriander seeds. Gorgeous marinade! Nice photos.

[...] of Apple Pie, Patis and Pate shares his Afelia – Pork Braised with Red Wine and Coriander Seeds. This classic Cypriot dish gets much of its flavor from the overnight marination and coriander [...]

Lucky me – I’ve got some pork shoulder sitting around without a home. I do believe this is where it’ll go.
