Creamy mushroom sauce with lean pork
posted by GK @ 11:32AM, 12/08/07
This is a really simple but effective sauce that I served with lean pork loin medallions, swiss rosti (ready prepared), carrots and asparagus. Went down a real treat. I liked it with a chablis but some others found the pairing mismatched!
