I have done the pork strips before but found them to be a bit tough unless marinated and pounded thin then sliced thin, I also tried ground pork and to my surprise it was really good...I added some cheese w lowfat milk, frozen peas and used egg noodles, but for anyone on a budget this is a nice alternative.

Really, really good. I made a few adjustments due to what I had on hand, adding some more color, and cutting a few calories. I used all yellow onion, chicken stock instead of wine, buttermilk instead of the heavy cream and creme fraiche (the buttermilk separated, but the flavor was excellent), and only 1 tablespoon of butter. I also added a pound of fresh spinach, which I cooked down first, took the spinach out of the skillet to drain, and left whatever moisture was left in the pan to saute with the butter. Instead of sauteeing the onion, then the pork, I just put it all in together. I did marinate the pork in lime (no lemons in the house) juice and mustard (omitted the honey to cut calories), then added the marinade to the pan with the pork, onions and mushrooms. Wonderful flavor and the meat cut so easily with just a fork! Next time, I'm going to make sure to have some plain yogurt on hand to use instead of buttermilk.

I didn't think this recipe would have the fullness of flavour that it did. I used a lesser cut of pork chop thinking the citrus marinade would tenderize and flavour them and it did. I even cut the chops thicker than the 1/4 inch and they were tender and flavourful. I did not add the honey. The directions don't say when to add the whole grain mustard so I added it with the wine - along with my only addition - about a 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper. Served over egg noodles. I would have liked a little more sauce and next time will add some smokey paprika and probably a little more whole grain mustard. Great recipe - thank you! Made for ZWT4
