Method
- 1
Mix the pork with the wine, garlic, bay leaves, paprika, cumin and salt. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- 2
Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Toss the potatoes with 2 tbsp of the oil on a baking tray and roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once, until crisp and golden.
40 min - 3
Lift the pork out of the marinade and pat dry, keeping the marinade. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp oil in a wide casserole over a high heat and brown the pork in 2 batches for 5 minutes each.
10 min - 4
Return all the pork to the pan, pour in the marinade and the water, and bring to the boil. Turn the heat to low, cover and simmer for 40 minutes until the pork is tender.
40 min - 5
Remove the lid and cook for 10 more minutes so the sauce reduces to a rich glaze that clings to the meat.
10 min - 6
Serve the pork with the roast potatoes, scattered with parsley and with lemon wedges.
