Gravy Ingredients For Pork Onions Mushrooms Paprika Garlic

Cooking Instructions

1. Season pork loin chops with SPG then brown lightly in a frying pan and then set them aside.
2. Chop onion and mushrooms roughly.
3. Add butter to frying pan and throw in onion and mushrooms then cook until they soften.
4. Add a few teaspoons of minced garlic to the pan. Add in paprika and a few cups of water then crumble in the chicken stock cubes. Bring to a simmer.
5. Put the loin chops back in to the frying pan and cover with the gravy mixture. Add a bit more water if required. You want the chops just covered in the gravy.
6. Cook at a slow simmer for about 3 hours – the longer and slower the better. The gravy should just be sending up a bubble or two every few seconds. Check and stir regularly and if it needs a bit more liquid just add a dash of water.
7. Mix a few tablespoons of cornflour in a small bowl with about 100ml of cold water and stir to mix. Add this to the gravy mixture and heat and stir through until the gravy thickens.
