Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 8 boneless pork loin chops or cut a large loin into 8 slices, 1/2-inch thick
- 1 lb white mushrooms or 1 1/2 Portabella mushrooms
- 1 yellow or white onion
- 1 carrot
- juice from 1/2 lemon
- 4 oz of white wine
- 2 Tbsp tomato sauce
- 1 Tbsp thyme
- 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
This pork loin with mushrooms recipe makes 4 servings.
Rinse and clean mushrooms under cold running water. Cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Peel and cut carrot into very thin round slices. Peel the onion and chop coarsely.
In a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan, pour 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium. Add onion and carrot slices and sauté 3-5 minutes. Turn heat up to medium-high. Add mushroom slices, lemon juice, white wine and tomato sauce. Stir while adding crushed thyme and granulated sugar. Continue to stir constantly while mixture cooks for 5-7 minutes. If white wine evaporates, add a bit of water to prevent mixture from burning.
Salt both sides of pork slices. Heat 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil in a separate large frying pan and cook pork. If you prefer, cook chops over an open flame grill.
Serve loin accompanied by the mushroom mixture.
