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!
