Directions

I just made this recipe for dinner tonight, and I haven't even done the dishes yet (big surprise, right Linda?) so I could post this for you. This was *incredibly good*. Easy, elegant and...well here it is. It's from a small pamphlet printed by the Pork Marketing Board called Entertaining Entrees.

Trim visible fat from meat. In a large skillet, heat oil over high heat; brown pork cubes for 2 minutes; remove. Reduce heat to medium; add butter and garlic to pan and saute for 30 seconds. Stir in flour and slowly whisk in stock and wine. Bring to boil; add ketchup, onions, mushrooms, thyme and pork cubes. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove lid and cook for five minutes longer. Serve over egg noodles.

Note: I don't know if this would be as good without the wine, as it really enhances the flavor. Posted to TNT - Prodigy's Recipe Exchange Newsletter by theshack@... on Apr 18, 1997
