1 Heat half the oil over medium heat in a large saucepan and sauté the pork for 10 minutes, till browned. Add wine and vinegar and cook for 3–5 minutes, till liquid reduces. Transfer to a bowl.
2 Add remaining oil to pan and cook leeks, onion, peppers, carrots and oregano for 8–10 minutes, stirring till softened. Add meat to liquid, then season generously. Add tomato purée and enough water to just cover. Simmer for 1½–2 hours, till pork is tender and sauce has thickened, adding prunes during last half-hour of cooking. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with boiled rice.
