Pork With Coriander & Red Wine

This elegant yet simple dish transforms humble pork loin into a restaurant-quality meal with the bright, citrusy notes of fresh coriander and the deep complexity of dry red wine. The pork cubes are briefly marinated in crushed spices before being seared to a golden brown, locking in juices and flavor. As the meat simmers gently in the wine reduction, it becomes incredibly tender, absorbing the savory-sweet balance provided by brown sugar and butter. The final addition of fresh coriander leaves adds a burst of herbal freshness that cuts through the richness of the sauce. Perfect for a weeknight dinner that feels special or a casual weekend gathering, this recipe requires minimal prep but delivers maximum flavor. Serve over rice or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Ingredients

1 1/2 pound Loin of pork
4 teaspoon Coriander seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon Black peppercorns, crushed
1 teaspoon Brown sugar
1 tablespoon Olive oil
3 cup Dry red wine
3 tablespoon Butter
1/2 cup Coriander leaves, coarse

Directions

1
Cut the pork loin into 1-inch cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
2
Add 1 teaspoon of the crushed coriander seeds, the crushed black peppercorns, and the brown sugar to the pork.
3
Stir well to ensure the meat is evenly coated with the spices and sugar.
4
Cover the bowl and let the pork marinate for at least 20 minutes.
5
Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the pork cubes in a single layer.
6
When the oil is very hot and aromatic, add the marinated pork to the skillet.
7
Cook the pork, turning often, until evenly browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes.
8
Pour the dry red wine into the skillet and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
9
After 1-2 minutes, reduce the heat to low.
10
Cover and cook gently, turning the meat occasionally, until the pork is tender and the wine has reduced to a syrupy consistency (about 4 tablespoons), approximately 20 minutes.
11
Add the butter and the remaining 3 teaspoons of crushed coriander seeds to the skillet.
12
Increase the heat to medium-high and stir vigorously for a few seconds to emulsify the butter into the wine reduction.
13
Remove from heat, toss in the fresh coriander leaves to coat the meat, and serve immediately.
