Some housewives prefer to cook in a slow cooker. Regardless of the chosen heat treatment method, if clear instructions are followed, the consumer will receive the perfect dish.

By simply mixing two ingredients and frying them in a frying pan, you can get an excellent addition to a side dish of potatoes, rice or stewed vegetables. However, the true taste of products is revealed only in conjunction with other components. The most delicious pork with champignons will be obtained if you add cheese, sour cream or potatoes to it. The best spices for the dish are ground pepper, nutmeg, garlic and thyme.

For cooking, you can use either fresh, frozen or pickled mushrooms, depending on the recipe.

To ensure that the finished product does not spoil expectations, you need to carefully consider the selection of ingredients. Mushrooms should be as fresh as possible - without traces of rot or mechanical damage. Since the dish is most often stewed, you should not choose a cut of pork that is too fatty. Lean tenderloin or the back of the ham without lard is best.

Pork with sauce: history of the dish

Since the main ingredient of our dish is pork, let's learn about the history of its use in food.
By the way, back in the Stone Age people appreciated the nutritional qualities of the meat of this animal. In Europe, for many centuries it remained the only meat dish for peasants. The whole secret is that the pig is a very unpretentious animal in nutrition and care. It is for this reason that its meat is still so widely popular today. According to rough estimates, today the total number of pigs is in the hundreds of millions. There is one animal for almost every ten people on the planet.

In addition to being easy to raise, pig meat is very tasty and easy to prepare. Not only pork with cream sauce is good, but also pork cutlets, stews and borscht based on pork broth. However, you can simply quickly fry a piece of pork in a frying pan without adding fat and eat it later, licking your fingers.

Pork with champignons in cream sauce

You can use not only cheese and sour cream as an addition to the dish. The classic French recipe involves the use of heavy cream. This method makes the meat incredibly tender. To prepare pork with champignons in sauce you will need:

500 gr. Koreans
300 gr. mushrooms
200 ml. heavy cream
50 ml. water

The first step for pork with champignons in a creamy sauce is to fry the onions. It is sautéed in butter and garlic. Next, chopped meat and mushrooms are added to it.

Pork stewed in this way with champignons requires a delicate side dish - mashed potatoes with the addition of full-fat milk or cream are best.

Final stage

At the end of cooking, all sauce ingredients are mixed and seasoned. The recipe does not require the use of seasonings (except for salt and pepper), but variations using different spices are quite possible. The most successful would be the addition of rosemary and cumin, and red chili pepper will help add more spiciness.

Sliced pieces of pork are added to vegetables and mushrooms stewed in broth. After thoroughly mixing the gravy, add tomato paste and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Follow the tomato paste with a tablespoon of flour. The gravy needs to be stirred thoroughly again so that the flour does not leave any lumps. While the gravy is simmering, you can chop fresh parsley, then pour it into the pan.
After this, remove the pan from the heat, close the lid and leave for 5 minutes.
