Pan fried pork with leek or “Prasotigania” as it is called in Greek, is an easy to prepare dish that is usually served as a meze, accompanying ouzo or wine
Ingredients

½ kilo pork fillets
2 leeks, white part only
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 glass of dry red wine
1 teaspoon sweet chilli flakes
60g. Mizithra cheese, coarsely grated
Salt

Preparation method

Step 1

Cut the pork fillets into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop leeks into rings. Crush the coriander seeds using a mortar.

Step 2

In a large skillet, pour a small cup of water and the leek rings. Let them boil until all the water evaporates.

Step 3

Pour the olive oil and, when the leeks begin to sizzle, add the pieces of meat, the crushed coriander seeds and the chilli flakes, without turning off the heat.

Step 4

Sauté the ingredients until brown. Add the red wine and the salt. Reduce heat, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Uncover the pan, turn up the heat and leave until the sauce thickens.

Step 6

Serve in a large dish or small platter and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
