Pork in smoked cheese sauce.

This is a simple recipes that works well with any strong flavoured cheese. You could use Blue stilton just as well and it would still have a good all-round flavour that would work well.  Also it is up to you what meat you use I have chose pork fillet for this recipe you could use veal turkey or chicken if you like, almost any white meat.

You will need

25g/ 1oz butter

15ml/ 1tbsp olive oil

Pork fillet for 4 people

2 cloves of garlic

250g/9oz button mushrooms

150g/ 5oz diced leeks

60ml/4tbsp brandy

120ml/4floz dry white wine

250ml/8floz whipping cream

150g/ 5oz smoked cheese

Slat and pepper to taste

As I am so often found of saying this is a really easy thing to make so lets start with the meat.  Cut the pork across the grain of the meat to make a coin shape then cover with a plastic bag and beat flat. You are just going to flash fry this so it is quick to cook. Then season with salt and pepper

Add a half of the butter to a hot frying pan and a little of the oil, pop the pork in to the pan and cook on one side then flip and cook on the other.  Once the pork has just cooked then remove from the pan, put to one side, and keep warm.

Now add your mushrooms and leeks to the frying pan with the rest of the butter and oil. You want the leeks and mushroom sliced very fine so they cook quickly, as they sweat down add the wine and let that reduce.

Now add your whipping cream and your grated cheese and let the cheese melt in to the sauce.  Finally finish with the brandy.  Test the seasoning, and then add the pork back in to the sauce.  Then serve on to a hot plate. 

Cooke on a high heat for rapid cooking it is the sort of thing that you would do repeatedly in a restaurant on a special board.  Easy to cook great to eat.
