Hoirino me Selino Avgolemono
Pork with Celery and Egg-Lemon Sauce (No Celery Root)

What it is
Tender chunks of pork (often shoulder or leg) slow-cooked with celery stalks in a classic creamy, tangy avgolemono (egg-lemon) sauce. Crucial to ensure no celery root (selinori) is used, as it is high in carbs.
