Pork and mushrooms suggestions
By browning the pork in the oven before continuing with the remainder of the recipe, you’ll not only add flavour but also get extra fat into the pan in which to fry the onions. The dish’s flavour is enhanced by being layered with different ingredients before it is simmered. As an alternative, you may dice up the pork and serve it as an appetiser with some bread. Spread the contents of the plate with cheese, then serve with sour cream and avocado on the side for nachos. There are many options.
