Recipe courtesy of Mrs Rachel Brady.

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 30 mins

Serves: 4

Cooking Skill: Easy

Ingredients

4 pork loin steaks, or pork medallions, trimmed of fat
1 tablespoon olive oil
10g dried porcini mushrooms, soaked for 30 mins in mugful of boiling water (don't throw away the liquid)
Knob butter
4 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
250g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
300ml crème fraiche
Small handful freshly chopped parsley

Method

Step 1

Soak the porcini mushrooms in half a mugful of boiling water and set aside.

Step 2

Heat a heavy bottom frying pan. Add a little oil. Season the pork steaks. Fry for about 5 or 6 mins on each side if they are thick like mine, less if they are thin (3 mins each side), adding a knob of butter to add flavour too.

Step 3

Remove and set to one side to rest. Remove the mushrooms and reserve liquid and finely chopped.

Step 4

Add onion and garlic to pan and soften for 5 mins. Add the mushrooms and porcinis too. Stir for a few minutes to get some colour and soften.

Step 5

Tip in the ¾ of the porcini liquid but not the last bit in the bowl.

Step 6

Increase the heat and add the crème fraiche. Heat through, season to taste. Add the parsley. Now pop the pork steaks back in and warm through for a minute.

Step 7

Serve with brown rice and green beans.
