A delicious main dish that will be requested again. I used boneless pork loin chops that were flattened to about 1/2 inch thick. These were served with Jazzed up Citrusy Beets and I Can't Believe It's Just Cabbage. Made for *ZWT6*

Made with pork schnitzels. I was worried it might taste too obviously like evaporated milk, but it didn't. I did add a little Tabasco, and some white wine, and added the schnitzel to the sauce at the end to rewarm it, but they were still tender and tasty. Served with mashed potato, I'd like to serve with spaetzle next time.

We made this for dinner last night and liked it. I used veal and portabella mushrooms. I thought it was easy to prepare and it came together quickly. I agree with other reviewers that it could have used more flavor, as both DH and I heavily seasoned ours with salt as a result. Maybe garlic and some herbs as another reviewer suggested could have done the trick.
