Skillet pork with mushroom gravy & rizi bizi rice
This is an easy but delicious and quick dish to make!
I promise you, once you serve it nobody will ever know that it took hardly any effort to make it :).....and you will get all the credit! How amazing is that?
If you do prefer chicken, it will come out just as delicious, I promise! So go for it, what’s holding you back?
I love to serve it with “Rizi Bizi” which reminds me of my childhood.
It’s a rice dish but it’s so Yummmmyyyy. I love jasmine rice, it’s just the perfect rice to cook and with the addition of peas, will just give that extra “Wowwww”
Enjoy!
Ingredients:
· Pork loin / 1 lbs.
· 2 shallots
· 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
· 1 box of baby portobello mushrooms (or mushroom of your choice)
· ½ of a stick butter
· ½ of a cup white wine (your option)
· 1 tbsp.. of bouillon
· Parsley
· Salt
· Pepper
· Jasmine rice (my favorite)
· Frozen organic peas
Instructions:
· On top of the stove warm up skillet or frying pan (large size)
· Melt ½ of a stick of butter
· After you cut up the pork loin into about ½ an inch slices, add them in the skillet and brown them on each side for about 2-3 minutes. Add salt and black crushed pepper. (a pinch of each)
· Remove the pork, put it on a plate
· After cutting up the shallots and garlic (minced) add them to the skillet and sauté them for a few minutes
· After cutting up the mushrooms add them to the skillet and sauté them until slightly brown
· Add in ½ of a cup of white wine
· Add in 1 tbsp. of bouillon (I prefer beef, but you can use your choice of bullion of just salt)
· Add back all the pork pieces and cook this down a bit. Add in ½ of a cup water and cook it for about 5 more minutes.
· Mix in a little glass bowl 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and water, make sure it is very smooth and add it to the skillet. This will make the gravy thicken a bit.
· Put a lid on and let it sit.
