Once browned, add 1 large thinly chopped onion to the pan and stir until smooth.

Add 125 ml of red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits.

Stir in 4 chopped tomatoes, a pinch of dried rosemary, 0.5 teaspoon of allspice, 2 bay leaves, and season with salt and black pepper.

Add 2 tablespoons of double concentrated tomato paste and mix well.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to low.

Cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender.
