Equipment

Ingredients

  • 350 g (0.8 lb) pork fillet trimmed of any sinew and cut into 6 x 2cm slices
  • 1 tsp sweet smoked pimenton
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 20 g (0.7 oz) butter
  • 1 leek (approx. 150g) cut in half lengthways then cut into approx. 0.5cm slices and rinsed to remove any hidden dirt
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) chestnut mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1 clove garlic peeled and finely sliced
  • 100 ml (½ cup) white wine (I like to use Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 100 ml (½ cup) half-fat crème fraiche

Instructions

  • Coat the pork slices on both sides in the paprika and lightly season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a large frying pan over a medium high heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted and stopped sizzling, add the pork slices and cook for 2 minutes on each side, then transfer them to a plate.
  • Add the leeks, mushrooms and garlic to the pan, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine to the pan and simmer for 1 minute.
  • Mix the tsp of mustard into the crème fraiche then add this mixture to the pan. Stir to combine all ingredients, then return the pork to the pan and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve with your choice of vegetable side dishes. 

Notes

  • Optional variations: 
    • Herbs – add fresh rosemary or tarragon to the sauce. 
    • Pancetta – fry some chopped pancetta for a couple of minutes before the shallots, mushrooms and garlic for extra depth. 
  • This pork fillet with mushroom and leek sauce recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
