The flavours of stroganoff – mushrooms and cream are a winning combination.

Ingredients

• 4 pork steaks
• salt and pepper to season
• 2 tblsp Oil
• 250 grams mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1/4 cup brandy (optional) or use chicken stock
• 250 gram tub sour cream
• 1 tblsp sour prepared mustard
• 2-3 gherkins, finely chopped
• about 2-3 cups cooked pasta (your favourite shape)

Method

1. Season the pork steaks with salt and pepper and cook in the oil in a hot pan for about 8 minutes in total, turning once until the pork is tender. When you pierce the steaks their juices should be clear, not pink. Set aside and keep warm.
2. Add the mushrooms and garlic to the pan and cook 1-2 minutes before adding the brandy (if using), sour cream, mustard and gherkins. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Toss about three quarters of the sauce through the pasta. Serve the pork on pasta with your favourite vegetables and remaining sauce on the side.
