Pork Chops with Creamy Hedgehog Mushroom Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 pork chops about 1 inch thick

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 1 cup fresh hedgehog mushrooms

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

  • 1 tbsp thyme fresh or dried

  • 2 garlic cloves minced

  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

 

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil.

  • Once the butter is melted, add the pork chops and season with salt and pepper. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the edges are golden brown.

  • Remove the pork chops. In the same skillet saute the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, and parsley. Cook for about 2-3 minutes stirring constantly.

  • Reduce the heat and add the heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

  • Simmer for about 2-3 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.

  • Add the pork chops back to the pan and cover with the creamy sauce.

  • Cover the skillet and let them cook for another 5-6 minutes until tender.

  • Transfer to a plate and serve hot with a side of cauliflower mashed potatoes or roasted rainbow carrots. Garnish with more fresh parsley, if desired.
