Tapas: Spicy Spanish Pork recipe

This recipe is popular in the region of Castilla-Leon. Cubes of pork are marinated overnight in a spicy mixture of paprika, garlic and white wine. Then the pork is quickly stir-fried and served with bread and/or fried potatoes. This is a very easy Spanish recipe that can be made as a "tapa" or a main course. If you do not eat pork, substitute beef.

As tapa it is for 6 persons, as a main dish for 4.
