PORK TENDERLOIN AU GRATIN WITH MUSHROOM



And the winter comfort food continues... This time a typical Swedish 60s oven dish, which is a classic in my family. 

Enjoy! 💗Helena

  4. Cut into approx. 3 cm slices.
  5. Lightly pound the slices and season both sides with salt and pepper. 

  6. Fry the pork slices in a pan on high heat so they get color on both sides. They meat should NOT be cooked through. Place the slices in the oven dish.
