Roast pork becomes even more comforting when you pair it with creamy mushrooms and softly braised chicory. This is a rich Belgian-style plate that feels made for colder evenings and proper appetites.
Serves: 4 people
Preparation time: 25 min
Ingredients
- Pork roast – 1 kg
- Butter – 50 g
- Wild mushrooms – 300 g
- Chicory – 4 heads
- Shallots – 2
- Garlic – 1 clove
- Cream – 150 ml
- Stock – 150 ml
- Thyme – 2 sprigs
- Salt and black pepper – to taste
Method
1. Brown the pork roast in butter, then roast it gently with shallot and thyme until the centre is just cooked and still juicy.
2. Sauté the mushrooms in a separate pan over high heat so they colour rather than stew. Add garlic and a little of the roasting juices.
3. Braise the chicory in butter until tender and lightly caramelised at the edges.
4. Add stock and cream to the pork pan and simmer into a smooth, mushroom-friendly sauce.
5. Rest and slice the pork, then serve it with the mushrooms, chicory and croquettes.
