Which mushrooms for dinner?

Rolled pork chops with mushrooms
Rolled pork chops with mushrooms are an excellent choice for gourmet lovers. They are perfect for when you're tired of classic cutlets.
Ingredients
- 5 slices of boneless pork loin
- 14 oz forest mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 medium-sized onions
- Dried or fresh thyme
- 2 oz flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 3.4 fl oz vegetable broth
Preparation Method
- Preparing mushrooms for rolls: Use a small brush to clean the forest mushrooms of sand. You can gently rinse them under running water, but be careful not to soak them too long so they do not absorb too much water. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the onions, cutting them into small pieces. Add the mushrooms and cook under the lid for 10 minutes when the onions become translucent.
- Assembling mushroom rolls: Pound the meat into cutlets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the filling in the middle, leaving a margin of about one inch. Roll the cutlets and secure them with a toothpick.
- Frying pork rolls with mushrooms: Heat the oil in the pan again. Coat the rolls in flour and quickly fry them on both sides to lightly brown them and prevent them from falling apart during baking.
- Spread the remaining mushrooms from the pan on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the rolls on top and pour in the broth. Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes covered and then for another 5 minutes uncovered.
Serve rolled pork chops with mushrooms alongside potatoes, gnocchi, and your favorite slaw. They taste great with red cabbage or stewed white cabbage.
