Method

  1. Coat the pork: Cut the pork diagonally into finger-thick slices. Tip the flour and rosemary into a large plastic food bag, add some salt and pepper and the pork, and toss until the meat is well coated.
  2. Start cooking: Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large wide frying pan. Add the pork and fry for about 3-4 minutes until nicely browned on both sides, turning once. Remove from the pan.
  3. Fry the mushrooms: Heat the remaining oil in the pan, tip in the mushrooms and fry until they start to soften, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the garlic and return the pork to the pan with any flour left in the bag. Stir in the stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the pork is cooked.

Make it different

Make a more sophisticated sauce by replacing half the stock with either red or white wine.

    Despite adding red wine to pep this up a bit we did not like it at all.

    Bland without additions such as Worcester sauce, 2 tsp sugar and a large tbsp creme fraiche. Scrummy with the extras.

    I have note made this yet, but I would think about adding a bit of cream or butter beans or other kind of pulses.

    nice enough taste (added red wine) but perhaps too watery for my liking.

    I always do this when at a loose end - is always good, but I do add in creme fraiche at the end, plus some white wine while cooking, to create a sort of stroganoff. Lovely with tagliatelle

    It was ok, but won't rush to make it again. Added red wine which probably helped a bit.

    I replaced half the stock with a Pinot Grigrio, used fresh rosemary rather than dried and following others' advice here, added a dollop of creme fraiche. It was alright, I think it would gain from a longer time simmering and absorbing the flavours.
