Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds pork shoulder in 1-inch cubes
1 head garlic, papery coating removed, cut in half crosswise
2 cups red wine
3 tablespoons coriander seeds, cracked and wrapped in cheesecloth
1 tablespoon butter
lemon juice to taste
½ cup chopped cilantro leaves
Preparation
- Step 1
Place oil in a large, deep skillet on medium-high heat. A minute later, add pork, and cook, undisturbed, until brown on one side, about 5 to 10 minutes. Turn and brown another side. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for a minute or two. Add 1 ½ cups wine, then coriander.
- Step 2
Turn heat to low, and cover. Simmer gently for 45 minutes to an hour, until pork is tender. Remove coriander. Stir in remaining wine; cook 2 or 3 minutes. Stir in butter.
- Step 3
Add lemon juice to taste. Stir in half the cilantro, then serve, garnished with remaining cilantro.

I appreciate Bittman!s approach to minimalism but really, no salt? The coriander was barely detectable, the cilantro at end didn’t exactly sing in harmony with red wide butter sauce. Except for adding s&p, I followed recipe out of curiosity to see if it would deliver. Meh.
Really great. Served with crisped gnocchi and garden peas.
Serve with rice or buttered noodles, according to original article.
