Afelia (Pork in Coriander & Wine)
"This is a Greek recipe for Pork that I copied from a magazine a few years ago. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the magazine. It was on Mediterranean Cooking, and I have since given it away to a friend."

I have never worked with coriander seeds and what a great flavor and scent! I toasted them first and the whole house smelled good, then put it a plastic bag and pounded them with a meat tenderizer. This is good and you can definitely taste both the wine and coriander. I leave four stars instead of five only because I had lots of liquid leftover at the end. I'm not sure why it didn't burn off but it would be nice to turn it into a thick sauce which I may try if it happens again next time.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Recently moved to New Mexico from South-East Texas. What can I say, I LOVE to cook! My screen name came from my husband Bert. He calls me his Kitchen Witch, because he says that I "make magic" in the kitchen.Bert works in Emergency Medicine in a local E.R.(That's what brought us here to New Mexico.) He has worked Emergency for about 27 years now, and I call him my "working class hero".(In reference to the John Lennon song.) I have 5 awesome children, 2 step-sons, 2 sons, and a daughter, who because she is the youngest and the only girl, thinks she is a princess.(oh no, she's not spoiled!) I come from a long line of people, on both sides of the family, who were wonderful and creative cooks. I guess that explains my love of cooking and feeding people.I truly get a thrill out of serving food to people who enjoy it.I also love to read, and consume books and information ravenously.I absolutely adore a great mystery.I also would have a hard time surviving without music! I like most all music, from The Beatles, to old Blues(Robert Johnson rocks!) ,to Loreena McKennitt,and Phoebe Snow.I am currently a house wife, due to our recent move.Before that, I worked for several years with abused children in an RTC.(Residential Treatment Center.) My pet peeves are small-minded,prejudiced,mean people and wastefulness. Growing up, my Father taught us that to waste food was a sin when there are so many people in the world starving.I guess that one really stuck with me.I love to meet people with common interests,so Zmail me any time!<img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/Switzerland-FFF4.gif">
