Pork tenderloin with chanterelles - Andrzej Cichy
PREPARATION TIME
40 minutes
INGREDIENTS : for 4 people
- 300 g chanterelles (or ceps)
- 1 pork tenderloin, 350 g
- 2 tbsp clarified butter
- ½ onion
- 50 ml dry white wine or stock
- 170 ml cream (30% fat content)
- 1 tbsp finely chopped dill
- optional: a pinch of turmeric
PREPARATION
Clean the chanterelles, rinse them quickly and dry them well. Put 1 tbsp butter into a large casserole pan, add the diced onion and cook on medium heat, stirring constantly. Add the chanterelles, turn up the heat and fry for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Season with salt, pour in the wine or stock and allow to evaporate on high heat for about 1 minute. Stir in the cream and bring to the boil. Lastly, add the chopped dill and turmeric (optional). Remove the pan from the heat. Rinse the tenderloin, dry it well, remove the membrane with a sharp knife and cut into 1.5 cm slices. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat a pan, add 1 tbsp butter. When the butter is hot enough, add the sliced tenderloin. Fry for 2 minutes on high heat until the meat is brown on the bottom side. Flip over and fry the other side. Transfer the fried meat to the pan containing the sauce and heat for another 1-2 minutes.
Very tasty with: new potatoes, potato dumplings, potato pancakes or lettuce with dill
Tip: If the sauce is not thick enough (this depends on the quality of the cream), it can be thickened with flour (add 1 tbsp at the end, sieved) and stir in at medium heat.
ANDRZEJ CICHY
The dish presented by Andrzej has been passed down from generation to generation in his family. He always associates it with the summers of his childhood, when he would go picking fresh chanterelles in the Polish woods with his sister. His mother would immediately turn their bountiful harvest into this delicious dish. With his childhood now well behind him, early bird Andrzej currently shines as a forklift operator at our D’Hulster warehouse for frozen products, where he has been working for the past ten years. His colleagues describe him as someone with great organisational skills, a perfectionist and a logical thinker.
