This recipe is popular in the region of Castilla-Leon. Cubes of pork are marinated overnight in a spicy mixture of paprika, garlic and white wine. Then the pork is quickly stir-fried and served with bread and/or fried potatoes. This is a very easy recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 lbs lean pork, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 Tbsp hot paprika
  • 2 Tbsp sweet paprika
  • 3 cloves of garlic, diced very small or put through a garlic press
  • 1 cup white wine
  • pinch of oregano
  • pinch of salt
  • French-style bread and/or fried potatoes to accompany

PREPARATION:

Serves 6 as a tapa or 4 as a main course.

Place cubes of pork in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle hot paprika, sweet paprika, oregano and garlic over top. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands. Add the white wine and mix thoroughly. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place in refrigerator for at least 24 hours.

When ready to cook the meat, place 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan and heat on medium heat. Remove meat from refrigerator and fry in pan. Salt to taste.

Serve with French-Style bread or fried potatoes.
