Step 1
1. The recipe for pork in red wine calls for using adjika. If you don't have it on hand, you can use any spicy tomato sauce or combine chopped tomatoes with hot pepper.

Step 2
2. Choose a piece of pork with moderate fat content. Pork neck with bone works well. Wash the meat thoroughly, dry it with a paper towel, and rub it generously with salt and pepper on all sides. You can also add other meat seasonings if desired. Gradually spread adjika over the pork on all sides, literally massaging the marinade into the meat.

3. Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a skillet. Add the meat and sear over high heat for a couple of minutes on each side. This way, the crust that forms will keep all the juices inside the meat. Meanwhile, place half of the washed and dried herbs onto a baking sheet or in a baking dish. You can use whatever herbs you have on hand.

4. Peel the garlic and lightly crush it with the knife. This will help it release more of its aromas into the meat during baking.

6. Then open the foil and, if necessary, add the remaining wine. The meat should not burn in the pan. In total, pork in red wine takes about 3 hours to cook at home. About half an hour before it's done, you can remove the foil so that the meat browns.
