The Pork Stroganoff is a great mid-week meal that can be rustled up in less than 20 minutes and for a very reasonable price. If you are looking for low calories, we'd recommend serving this with some delicious winter greens like chard or kale. If you are in need of a more hearty and filling meal, try tagliatelle (see "optionals" in the ingredients list).
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
👋Prepare all your ingredients before you start cooking, as this is a super quick one!
Place a large frying pan onto the stove and turn the heat to high. Pour in half of the olive oil and, when hot add the sliced white onions and fry for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, if serving your Stroganoff with tagliatelle, cook this now in boiling salted water. When cooked, drain well and toss in a little olive oil.
Add the cloves of sliced garlic and the mushrooms to the cooked onions. Crumble in a chicken stock cube and cook for 8 minutes until the mushrooms have just softened and caramelised slightly. Remove from the pan and put to one side.
Pour the remaining olive oil into the pan you cooked the mushrooms in and turn the heat to high. Add the sliced pork fillet, smoked paprika, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Fry for 3-4 minutes until the pork is just cooked and slightly coloured. Add the mushrooms back in along with the crème fraiche and the spinach and bring to a simmer for 2 minutes. Season once again and squeeze in the lemon juice.
If serving your Stroganoff with kale*, boil this in boiling salted water for 1 minute before draining and squeezing out the liquid. Serve the Stroganoff as it is, with the now drained and cooked tagliatelle or the cooked kale.
