This is an exceptionally simple and very tasty recipe. The combination of coriander and caraway, a bit unusual for medieval English recipes, gives the meat and the sauce a strong, complementary flavor.


Ingredients

2 lbs. pork loin
1 1/2 tsp. coriander
1 1/2 tsp. caraway
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups red wine
1 cup broth


Method

Mix spices and garlic with wine and pour over pork in a roasting pan. Cover and bake at 350°F until cooked through, basting regularly. Strain the drippings from the roasting pan into a saucepan, along with the broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve sauce with pork.
