A cold winter weekend night demands a hearty meal and good wine to warm you up.  So, I decided to share with you a very quick and simple recipe for a good meal.  Here we go:

Ingredients to serve 4:

• Lean pork loin – approximately 1.2 ~ 1.4 lbs
• 3 large sweet onions
• 1 Anaheim pepper (you can substitute any sweet pepper)
• 1 cup of red wine
• 2 cups of warm water
• 2 tablespoon of olive or avocado oil
• 3 tablespoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon ground cummin
• 1 tablespoon salt
• ground pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup of chopped parsley

Preparation:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet preferably one with a cover (please see below)
• Slice the peeled onions in thin large slices
• chop the pork loin in 1-inch cubes
• slice the Anaheim pepper in thin pieces
• Place the sliced pork in the skillet and brown on high heat for 2-3 minutes
•    
• Add the Anaheim pepper and stirr for another 30 seconds or so
• Then add the sliced onion and stirr well to ensure they are coated with the oil
• Reduce heat and stirr often and once onion is somewhat wilted and browned add wine
• Let the mixture simmer and once reduced, add the warm water and cover with a lid to simmer on low heat
• Once water is reduced to a half add the salt and spices and stirr well
• Finally, garnish with the chopped parsley – you have the meal ready to serve — you can serve over rice or with bread
•   

Here are links to the skillet used as well as a very good Texas wine that was paired with the dish.

Enjoy!
