When it comes to minimalist dishes, pork bites nail it! This dish goes by the name tiganiá  – an informal Greek word for shallow pan cooking, almost like a stir fry. Greek cuisine is teeming with quick, few ingredient dishes and tiganiá is the classic winter mezze you will definitely love.

DIRECTIONS

Step 1

Dry the cubes of pork thoroughly and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a deep pan, add the olive oil if using, once heated up add the pork bites and brown for a couple of minutes each side.

Step 3

Add in the wine and cook until only ¼ of the wine remains visible in your pan. Add the lemon juice, the liquids should just touch the top of your pork cubes.

Step 4

Throw in the herbs, bay leaf and thyme, bring to the boil and then lower to a simmer. It needs approximately 30-35 minutes, with the lid on. Check again your liquids towards the last 10 minutes, if you think you are running out of liquids add some warm water.

Step 5

If using mustard, add it in the last 5 minutes, be stingy with it though.
