Ingredientes
For 4 people
- 8 pork cheeks
- 2 onions
- 2 carrots
- 1 leek
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 glass of red wine
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 glass of water
- 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
Preparation
If the pork cheeks have a little fat on them, we recommend trimming them with a sharp knife. They can be cut into fillets or served whole, as pork cheeks don't tend to be very large.First chop the onions, carrots, leek and garlic. Then heat up the olive oil in the pan and lightly fry the vegetables.The pork cheeks are seasoned to taste, coated with flour and fried in afrying pan with a bit of olive oil. Once the meat is golden brown and vegetables have been fried, add the cheeks to the pan with the vegetables. Then add the glass of red wine and the glass of water.Then put the rosemary in the pan. Cover and cook the meat for about 20 minutes from when it starts to steam. We recommended making this dish in the pressure cooker. If not, we recommend cooking the meat on alow/medium heat until it is tender.After 20 minutes, open the pan/pressure cooker, remove the pork and blend the vegetables to make a sauce. Heat the sauce over a medium heat for 5 minutes.The pork is presented on a plate and the sauce is poured on top. It can be served with chips or potatoes "a lo pobre", or with cooked vegetables or salad.And finally... enjoy a delicious meal!OTHER INFORMATION
