Pork & Mushroom Stroganoff

This is an adapted recipe from Jamie Oliver's Venison & Wild Mushroom Stroganoff

I used pork loins and a mix of brown & white mushrooms; it was served with a jacket potato and peas

  • olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and finely sliced
  • 3 pork loin, sliced into finger-sized pieces
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 250 g mixed mushrooms, wiped cleanand sliced
  • 1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley finely chopped
  • 1 knob butter
  • 1 good splash brandy
  • zest of ½ lemon
  • 150 ml crème fraîche 

1. Toss the meat with the paprika and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the meat and sear until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes total. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Toss in the onions and garlic saute until everything starts to brown and caramelize, 5 minutes. Add the butter and mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes.
4. Add the brandy and let it sizzle about 1 minute. Add the lemon zest and most of the crème fraiche. Stir to combine.
5. Nestle the meat back in the pan (with its collected juices) and simmer until cooked through 5 to 7 minutes. Give a good pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Serve the stroganoff over a bed of rice or jacket potato and garnish with spoonful of crème fraiche and parsley.
