Pork medallions in a creamy chanterelle sauce

by Jeanne Horak on September 28, 2008 19 Comments in Main course - meat, Recipes, Weekend Herb Blogging

pork-medallions-with-chanterelles

 

Do you remember your first time?

The anticipation?  The excitement? The way everybody seemed to know all about it except you?

I remember it well – because my first time was only last week!

My first time cooking with chanterelle mushrooms, that is.  What did you think I was talking about? :o)

In a way, I guess it was fate.  On our drive back from Austria last summer, we stopped off in Heidelberg.  Now if I’d known Charlotte lived in the vicinity, I would most certainly have paid her a visit but, alas, I didn’t and so we wandered the streets of the old town in search of supper. I was struck by the number of places offering special seasonal pfifferling (the German name for chanterelles) menus.  Of course, I had to try some and I was instantly hooked.  The meaty texture, the intensely mushroomy flavour – what’s not to like??  Well, the price, as I discovered when I got back to England.  One of the few places where you can be pretty sure to find them is Borough Market, and there they on sale last week for £16 per kilo!  So sadly my new-found love remained unrequited for a while, until we visited the Oktoberfest in Munich last weekend.  Most people come home from Oktoberfest with a silly hat, a gingerbread heart, a large beer mug and a hangover.

Me?  I came home with a bag of fresh chanterelles.

Chanterelles are members of the fungi kingdom and the correct name for the most commonly eaten species, the golden chanterelle, is the Cantherellus Cibarius. (California is also home to the white chanterelle or Cantherellus Subalbidus, which some people believe to have a superior flavour.)  Like truffles, they are micorrhizal, meaning that they form symbiotic relationships with the roots of a particular host plant.  This means that when looking for wild chanterelles, your chances will be better if you look under conifers, live oak (in California) or silver birch (in Scotland).  The mushrooms do not look much like “textbook” mushrooms (e.g. button mushrooms), but are yellow and funnel-shaped, with gills extending almost the entire way down the stem.  Unlike button mushrooms, there is no division between the cap and the stem, and the cap tends to curl up at the edges rather than down.  They have a rather distinct aroma which some people have likened to apricots, but to me it’s just intensely mushroomy and quite delicious.

A word of warning, though.  Golden chanterelles can fairly easily be confused with Jack O’ Lantern mushrooms which are also orange-yellow and have a similar shape.  You don’t want to be sauteeing these babies, unless you feel like a bout of violent cramps, diarrhoea and projectile vomiting.  Nice.

Anyway, given my lack of experience in the foraging department (see my elderberry post for details!), I went for the safer option of buying 250g of fresh chanterelles at Munich’s wonderful Viktualienmarkt – for €2.50!  Now that sounds a lot better than £16 per kilo…

My only remaining dilemma was what to make with them.  I wanted to make something that would let the flavour of the mushrooms shine through rather than sideline it, so in the end I opted to pair them with pork in a creamy sauce, slightly adapting this recipe from Steffen’s Dinners (a site that’s well worth a visit if you’re looking for great recipes, btw) to suit what I had on hand.  The recipe was quick and easy and the taste was a perfect pairing, with the pork being the perfect foil for the flavoursome mushrooms. (And if you don’t eat pork, chicken breast fillets would work just as well in this recipe.)  I served mine with brown rice and a stir-fry of French beans, sugar snap peas and red bell pepper.

And would you know – our dinner guests Belinda and Andrew blushingly admitted that it was their first time too. With chanterelles, of course 🙂

PORK MEDALLIONS IN A CREAMY CHANTERELLE SAUCE (serves 4)

Ingredients:

1 pork tenderloin (pork fillets) – mine was a big one at 550g 20080924 Chanterelles1E
1 clove of garlic
1 Tbsp oil
1 tsp coarse salt
250g chanterelle mushrooms, cleaned and cut into large pieces of roughly equal size (the recipe calls for more, but that’s all I had)
1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
¼ cup dry sherry
2 Tbsp sour cream
3 Tbsp whipping cream
1 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp butter
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Method:

In a mortar puree 1 clove of garlic with 1 tsp of coarse salt.  Rub the pork loin with the resulting puree and season with freshly ground pepper.

Heat a heavy, oven-proof pan or dish over medium-high heat (I used my trusty round Le Creuset Dutch oven and cut the loin into two to make it fit).  Add oil and sear the pork loin from all sides until nicely browned. Remove the meat from pan and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 Tbsp of butter, add onions and cook until soft and translucent. Add chopped garlic and cook for another minute or two.

Preheat oven to 180C.

Add chanterelle mushrooms and salt to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, without covering.  Add the pale sherry and the pork loin. Transfer the dish/pan to preheated oven.  I put the lid on my pot for about half the cooking time, then removed it.  Cook until tenderloins are firm to the touch, about 20-30 minutes.  Remove the dish from oven, remove and wrap tenderloins in aluminum foil and set aside.

Over low-to-medium heat, cook mushrooms until most of the liquid has evaporated.  Stir in sour cream, whipping cream and butter. Add chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

Cut tenderloins into thick slices.  Add them back into the chanterelle sauce to heat through and then serve over rice or noodles.

    Only 16 pound a kilo? Would gladly pay that; this year we found some *cheap* ones at $100kg, last year they were $150kg. What’s a mushroom lover supposed to do? Visit the bank manager of course! If only they grew here.

    Chanterelles are a lovely mushroom and one of the things I love about living in Switzerland… great shrooooms! There are so many amazing varieties, from blue stemmed numbers to frilly lacy ones. I am glad you had the opportunity to play with them and I think your choice of dish was a perfect one.

    I want this!! Now. Even though it’s well past midnight and not at all the time to be tucking into a plate of pork medallions in a creamy chanterelle sauce.
    Remind me not to look in here when all the shops are closed! Yes, it’s true. We do not have any chanterelles in the fridge. Or pork tenderloin. Or sour cream… we do have rice. Somehow I don’t think that rice with onions, garlic and cream will quite do the trick.

    I was out biking in the mountains and came upon a patch of Chanterelles, then cooked this for my family and a VERY long lost friend (30 years) that night. Perfect presentation and savory fall flavours. That was last month. Today I was biking in the same area and harvested another 8-10 oz. I’ve gifted them to my mother in law, who is serving this meal to the mayor of our city on Tuesday, based on my recommendation.

What better way to celebrate the day when the clocks go forward to British Summer Time than with  a glorious photo of St Paul's Cathedral shyly peeping out from a cloud of pink cherry blossoms against a perfect blue sky! 🌸🌞

London is awash in glorious blossoms at the moment, from Greenwich Park in the east to Kew Gardens in the west, and the fun part is trying to catch each type of tree just when the blossoms are at their best.

The cherry plums have been exploding into clouds of small white blossoms and sweet fragrance for a few weeks already; and the early flowering cherry trees, camellias and magnolias are coming into their own right now. Plus we still have the late-flowering cherries, rhododendrons and wisteria to look forward to!

"The essence of being human is that one does not s "The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection" 

I wonder what the author if those words would have made of the age of Instagram? We are fed an endless stream of perfect images of perfect bodies and perfect lives. In the back of our minds we KNOW this is not reality, but still the subconscious yearning for this imaginary world of perfection persists. Humans are funny that way.

But so often in life, things fall short of the perfection we imagined - seemingly perfect relationships fail, cakes look nothing like the picture in the book, clothes that looked good on the internet look ridiculous on our bodies, the wrong turn we took meant we never got to our planned destination.

Falling short of perfection is part of life. The big question is how you deal with it. Do you throw your hands up in despair and berate yourself for failure? Or do you find the positives in the imperfect outcomes of your plans? 

This photo taken almost exactly 4 years ago was meant to be a "perfect" Instagram shot of me in my signature pose, on a perfect sunny day on snowy ski slopes. Instead, as @explorista snapped the photo, our ski instructor decided to throw handfuls of snow at me - but as it turns out, this "imperfect" shot turned out to be my favourite of the day 😍

Do you find joy in life's imperfections?
What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? Up What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? 

Up until about a week ago I would have said cauliflower cheese... but all that changed when I made this low-carb cauliflower steak Welsh rarebit... I first made cauliflower steaks years ago, before cauliflower started enjoying its 15 minutes of fame, as a main course for vegetarian friends. But it wasn't till last week when I wanted to make Welsh rarebit for St David's day and discovered I had no bread that it struck me that cauli steaks would make the perfect base for Welsh rarebit! It's totally indulgent - like pouring a beery cheese fondue over your cauliflower - and totally addictive. You can find the full recipe in the link in my profile,  or SAVE this post for basic instructions! Remember to tag me if you try it -I'd love to see 😊

* Slice two 1cm steaks vertically from the middle of a large cauliflower, season and fry in  butter and oil till browning slightly.

* Oven bake for 10 mins at 200C while you mix grated cheddar, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and beer. (The Duvel Belgian ale works a charm, BTW!).

* Spread the cheese mix generously over the 2 steaks and pop under a medium grill until golden and bubbly

You're welcome 🤩

March 1 is the day on which the Welsh people celebrate their patron saint, St David, and one of their traditions is to wear a daffodil, the national flower of Wales. Here are five daffodil facts to impress your Welsh friends:

🌼 There's no difference between a daffodil and a narcissus. Daffodil (or jonquil) is simply the common name for members of the Narcissus genus, so all daffodils are narcissi.

🌼 There is only one species if daffodil that is native to the UK - Narcissus Pseudonarcissus, or wild daffodils. You can spot them by the fact that their outer 6 petals are a paler yellow than the central trumpet, and they are usually smaller than the showy, giant yellow commercially grown daffs. 

🌼 It's not entirely certain how the daffodil came to be the national flower of Wales - one theory is that they are one of the few flowers in bloom on 1 March. Another is that the daffodil is less... antisocial to wear than the other Welsh national symbol, the leek 🤣

🌼 Daffodils are the official 10th wedding anniversary flower.

🌼 Daffodils contain a poisonous sap - keep away from pets and if mixing daffodils in a vase with other flowers, let them stand in water separately for 24 hours first I case they affect the other flowers. 

Are daffodils your favourite Spring flower? Or do you prefer something else?
As a girl who lived more than half her life in the As a girl who lived more than half her life in the African sun, February and March are the hardest months for me to bear in the UK. All the excitement of Christmas and New Year has faded; the credit card bill has arrived; the sun is still setting before I finish work; and the snow that we all hoped for at Christmas finally arrives and disrupts everything. This is why, every year in Feb/March since I moved to the UK (other than the year I broke my femur a week before I was due to fly!), I decamp to South Africa for 2 weeks to visit my family and get my fix of vitamin D (and vitamin Sea!).

This week I should have been here - the Beacon Island hotel in Plettenberg Bay, which I have been visiting since I was about six years old. It is where I go to lift my spirits and clear my head. But for the last 2 years, Covid has meant that I have not been able to go home - or see my family. 

For the most part, although I miss travel, I am secretly quite liking taking a breather and being able to be home without FOMO for a while. But not being able to see my family has been incredibly hard, particularly as I have no family in this country.  And my blood boils at people bending the rules (a dentist appointment in Tenerife when you live in Manchester? Seriously??) to go on holiday while I have not seen my clinically vulnerable brother in two years. Covidiots.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as vaccinations are widely rolled out and international travel becomes practical again, I will be on a plane to South Africa so fast it will make your head spin.

Where will YOU head to first once we are able to travel again,  and why?

Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷 [Press trip] Back Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷

[Press trip] Back before Covid put our lives on hold, I spent a few days in the Languedoc-Rousillon wine region of France learning about (and tasting!) Pays d'Oc IGP wines. 

Want to learn more about the region's wines? Read on, swipe through the images (remember to  bookmark this post to refer back to later) - and click the live link in my bio for the full blog post! 

🍷 The Languedoc-Rousillon region is the largest wine producing region in the world, and produces about a third of all French wine. Pays d'Oc IGP is a classification region within Languedoc-Rousillon, with vineyards that take up over half the total vineyard area in the Languedoc-Rousillon region. Pays d'OC IGP wines account for about 20% of the total of all French wine produced.

🍷IGP stands for Indication Geographique Protegée, meaning it is a protected indication of origin and wines must be made only from approved grape varieties that must be grown entirely within the region's geographic boundaries.

🍷 Most French wines are named for their region (Bordeaux, Chablis, Champagne) but you won't see the name of the grape variety on the label. In response to consumer demand and the New World trend to label wines with grape varieties, rules were changed in Pays d'Oc in the late 1980s and Pays d'Oc wines now account for 92% of French varietal wines (e.g. labelled Chardonnay, Syrah, Viognier etc.).

🍷 There are 58 grape varieties that are allowed to be planted in the region but the Pays d'Oc IGP varietal wines to watch out for include Chardonnay, Rolle (another name for Vermentino) and Viognier among the whites; and Syrah, Mourvedre and Pinot Noir among the reds.

🍷 All wines labelled Pays d'Oc IGP are sampled and approved in a blind tasting by a panel of professionals, meaning the label is a guarantee of quality to the consumer. 

🍷 Producers that you should look out for include Gerard Bertrand, Domaine Gayda, Les Jamelles, Les Yeuses, Paul Mas and Domaine Aigues Belles.

New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way f New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way forward?

I have mentioned before that I don't really make new year's resolutions. There is always so much pressure to make them BIG lofty goals and this is essentially what dooms them to failure. Instead, for the past few years I have made a list of... affirmations? Mantras? I have yet come up with a word that does not make my toes curl 🤣

These are essentially reminders rather than goals - presets, if you like, for the year ahead. I keep them in a handwritten list next to my computer and when I don't know how to react to something or how to shake a mood, I read them and there is usually an answer in there somewhere. 

Given the bruising year last year was, and how 2021 has so far proven itself to be not much better, I really wanted to add something practical to this year's list to lift my spirits on days when I am down. And for that I borrowed shamelessly from the wonderful @gretchenrubin:

🌈  ACT THE WAY YOU WANT TO FEEL 🌈

And this photo is a reminder of how I want to feel on so, so many levels: hanging out with friends; dancing in the sunshine; wearing my favourite red dress; travelling (this was in Carouge, Switzerland); and surrounded by a rainbow of colour. I can't travel and I can't see friends, but I can dance in my kitchen, singing at the top of my voice wearing my brightest clothes. 

What strategies do you use to lift your spirits? I'd love to hear!

If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bi If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bircher muesli during lockdown, you will want to bookmark this post right now! 🔖

I have learnt a few things during lockdown. I have learnt that I am more comfortable spending long periods alone than I had ever imagined; that I suffer a lot more from FOMO (fear of missing out!) than I would like to admit; and that pre-Covid I spent rude sums of money on commuting and barista coffee...! 

I also learnt that although I miss travel and social events and meals out, it is often the smaller things that you miss most acutely - the freedom to call up a friend you haven't seen in a while and inviting them over. Hugging (or even seeing) my family. And grabbing a macchiato and a Pret Bircher muesli on the way to work. Don't ask me why, but it became a small obsession of mine to create a fakeaway Pret Bircher during lockdown - and I think I have succeeded! Here's how:

For 2 servings you will need:
100g rolled oats
200ml milk or water
1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds 
1 Tbsp shelled pistachio nuts
1 Tbsp dried cranberries 
2 small apples
175g plain yoghurt
Honey
Pomegranate rails

Mix the oats, seeds, nuts and cranberries together then add the milk/water and a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight. 

When ready to serve, grate the apples and mix them in with the oats and yoghurt (add a little extra milk to loosen if needed). Stir in honey to taste and serve topped with pomegranate arils and pistachios. Full recipe and more photos are available now on the blog - click the live link in my profile.

Did you try any fakeaway recipes over lockdown? Please let me know in the comments - I would love to hear about it!
