Recipe Tips

• Choose Thick Pork Chops: Use thick-cut pork chops for juicier meat. Thin chops can dry out quickly during cooking.
• Let the Pork Rest: After cooking, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes. This helps keep them tender and juicy.
• Use Fresh Mushrooms: Fresh button mushrooms enhance the flavour of the sauce. Avoid canned mushrooms for the best taste.
• Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). This guarantees it’s cooked safely.
• Customize the Sauce: Feel free to add garlic, herbs, or different vegetables to the mushroom sauce for extra flavour. Experiment with ingredients you enjoy!
