Instructions

1. Peel onion, cut in half, then slice into thin strips. Wash zucchini, quarter lengthways, then cut into small pieces. Clean mushrooms, halve them, then slice. Chop fresh mint.
2. Heat roughly 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add seasoned pork and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 63°C / 145°F). Deglaze with Metaxa and let reduce for 5-10 minutes.

5. Remove from heat and stir in fresh mint.
6. Serve with lightly toasted flatbread or rice.
