Preparation and cooking times

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.

    Fantastic - I changed a few things as well - along with the chestnut mushrooms I also added 150 g shiitake mushrooms, used 150 ml of veg stock and 150 ml of strong Sauvignon Blanc instead of 300 ml of stock, let it cook for about 10 mins, and added 3 huge tablespoons of creme fraiche. Finally, I stirred in a handful of finely chopped fresh parsley and that was it. Served with mixed green salads and potatoes roasted with red onion, rosemary and a splash of white wine ...it's quickly becoming our favourite!!

    This was easy to make, but ended up tasting so much like rosemary that it was almost medicinal. In fact, that was the only taste that you really tasted with this recipe. Beware!

    We added redwine and haricot beans, and served with rice. I would say that it doesn't have enough of the sauce, 500ml would have been better.
