Tender slices of ham or pork, often pan-seared or roasted, served with a rich, earthy mushroom sauce that beautifully complements the savory meat. --- RECIPE --- Servings: 4-6 Prep Time: 25 minutes Ingredients: - 1.5 lbs pork loin or thick-cut ham slices - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1 large onion, chopped - 1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1.5 cups chicken or pork broth - 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional, or more broth) - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce - 1 teaspoon dried thyme - Salt and black pepper to taste - 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry) - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish Instructions: 1. Season pork loin or ham slices with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork/ham for 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove meat and set aside, keeping warm. 2. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned, about 7-10 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. 3. Deglaze the pan with white wine (if using) or a splash of broth, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in remaining chicken/pork broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. 4. Bring to a simmer. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring, for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. 5. Return the cooked pork/ham to the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Heat through gently for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. 6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
