Afelia (Pork in Coriander & Wine)

This is a Greek recipe for Pork that I copied from a magazine a few years ago. Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the magazine. It was on Mediterranean Cooking, and I have since given it away to a friend.

2. Combine the coriander seeds with the wine in a large dish, add pork, and cover.
3. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours, stirring once or twice.
4. Heat oil in a large enough pot.
5. Using a slotted spoon, remove pork from the wine marinade, and reserve the marinade.
