Pork - with a creamy mushroom sauce


Pork makes a tasty dish, and is usually reasonably priced. If you've had a busy day you may not want to spend too long in the kitchen cooking dinner, so this recipe suggestion - ready in about 30 minutes - may be just what you are looking for! It uses pork medallion and makes a good alternative to chicken.

Ingredients
Serves One
2 tsp oil
1 very small onion (50g/1¾oz peeled weight), finely chopped
100g/3½oz lean pork medallion, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed (optional)
100g/3½oz mushrooms, roughly chopped
100ml/3½fl oz chicken stock
3 level tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives (optional)
salt and freshly ground black pepper
To Serve
150g/5½oz courgetti (or alternative butternut squash noodles)
Recipe Tip
Courgetti, also known as courgette spaghetti or zoodles, refers to courgette that has been cut into ribbons using a spiralizer, julienne peeler or sharp knife. Offering a similar texture to spaghetti, it provides a healthy alternative to pasta with significantly fewer calories. You can buy courgetti already prepared from most supermarkets, but if you have a spiraliser you can make your own – one large courgette/zucchini (about 175g/6oz) should give you around 150g/5½oz courgetti. If you don’t have a spiraliser, you can use a vegetable peeler to cut thin ribbons, about 3mm thick, from a courgette, then use a sharp knife to slice them into long, thin strips. Sprinkle the courgetti with a little salt and place in a colander for 10 minutes to allow some of the liquid to drain. Either cook the courgetti in a microwave on high for 2 minutes or steam over a pan of boiling water.
Method
1. Heat the oil in small frying pan. Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes.
2. Add the pork, garlic (if using) and mushrooms and cook for 2–3 minutes.
3. Pour in the stock, cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for 5–10 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
4. Remove from the heat, stir in the crème fraîche and chives, if using, and season to taste.
5. Cook the courgetti in a microwave on high for 2 minutes. Leave to stand for 1 minute.
6. Serve the pork and sauce with the courgetti.

The vegie noodles and the sauce (using vegetable stock) would be more than enough for me. Thank you.

Sounds good! Have a great weekend, Valerie

Pork and mushroom, yum. Interesting that this recipe serves one, that's just right for me as Mick won't eat anything with mushroom in it. It makes a change not to have to split a recipe in half or even quarters.

Sounds delicious, I choose pork over beef these days as beef is expensive.

CJ Kennedy said...

Yum!

I agree with EC. I would prefer the veggie noodles and mushrooms to that pork.

Hi Jan, I see several interesting posts since my last visit on Saturday, 22 May 2021, when the topic was mint and you mentioned your mint salad recipe from your Wednesday, 10 August 2016, post. My thought was ... How could I have missed such a wonderful recipe I could have been enjoying for the last five years! :-) What a great treat and thank you again for sharing. From more recent posts, the Honey Roast Chicken looks wonderful. Thanks for suggestions on preventing Migraine and Cluster Headaches. 37 Types of Flour and Their Nutritional Values ... amazing! Lastly, today's post ... Pork - with a creamy mushroom sauce ... sounds great and I've got to give it a try! Thanks for sharing all. A very good weekend to you and Eddie. Best regards from Seattle. John
