I love making this simple but very adaptive recipe. You can use either a cheap cut of cubed pork, pork chops, or even pork loin. The choice is yours.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz of cubed pork or chump pork chops
- ½ tsp of paprika
- 4 tbsp butter
- 8 oz of sliced mushrooms
- 4 cloves garlic, minced/diced
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup mushroom broth (or beef)
- salt & pepper to taste
Method:
- Season the pork with paprika, salt & pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over a med-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear pork till golden brown and no longer pink. Remove and set aside.
- Melt remaining butter in the skillet and, over a medium-high heat, sauté the mushrooms for about 5 mins. Add garlic and mustard and cook for a further min till garlic is fragrant.
- Add flour to the skillet, stirring to remove any lumps. Slowly add broth whisking until incorporated. Season with salt & pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until sauce thickens (about 5 mins).
- Return pork to pan and cook until heated through (another minute or two).
- Serve with a side of mashed potatoes and your favourite veg, or with pasta.
This sounds absolutely DELICIOUS. My kids hate mushrooms, but my husband and I enjoy them. A date night dinner in the near future, perhaps?
It is delicious, Elisabeth. And you know, you could always do it without the mushrooms for the kids, give it a go? But yeah, it would be a great date night dinner too.
This recipe is so versatile. I’ve done it with orzo and it’s been delicious.
