Serves/Makes: 4
Ready in: 2-5 hrs

  • 1 1/2 pound boneless pork shoulder, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon boukovo or red pepper flakes, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large leek, white part only, washed well and chopped
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 1 cup dry red wine

In a medium bowl, toss the pork with the salt, black pepper, paprika, boukovo or pepper flakes, mint, and orange zest. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, stirring, until browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Lower the heat to medium, add the leek and onion, and cook, stirring, until translucent, 7 to 8 minutes.

Add the pork back into the skillet, pour in the wine, and cover. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer until the pork is tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Add more water or wine to the skillet if necessary to keep the contents moist.

Serve warm, as a meze or main course.
