Method
- Season the black pig with salt and pepper to taste
- Put parsley, onion, garlic, plums, tsipouro and coriander seeds in a pan, put the black pig on top, add olive oil. Cover with the lid and put it in the oven at 160 degrees for one hour, then turn it down to 140 degrees and bake for 3 hours or until they are completely soft.
- Mash the eggplant with salt and pepper to taste, add 2 tablespoons of aged balsamic vinegar
(Same process for red peppers) - Boil the egg noodles for about 4 minutes, run them under cold water to stop the boiling, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, mix them and leave them aside.
- Spoon the eggplant and red pepper puree onto a plate, top with the egg noodles and roasted black pig, making sure to add some of the roasted onions, prunes and pan juices.
