This quick and flavorful dish combines tender pork with earthy mushrooms, all cooked to perfection in a single skillet. It’s a simple, satisfying meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinners.
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the pork and cook it until it’s nicely browned, about 6 to 7 minutes, then transfer it to a plate. In the same skillet, add the onions and peppers and cook them until they start to brown, which should take around 6 to 8 minutes. Next, stir the pork back in along with the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and garlic.
Sprinkle in the vinegar, garam masala, curry powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, mustard, basil, and oregano, then let everything simmer gently for about 10 minutes. After that, add the mushrooms and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes or so.
In a small bowl, mix together the water and cornstarch until smooth, then pour it into the skillet. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, which should take 2 to 3 minutes. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving.
- Use a hot skillet to get a nice sear on the pork for extra flavor.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the mushrooms brown instead of steam.
- Season the pork and mushrooms well with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
This dish combines tender pork with earthy mushrooms, creating a rich and satisfying flavor. It cooks quickly, making it perfect for busy weeknights. The skillet method keeps everything juicy and full of taste.
Serve with steamed rice or buttered noodles to soak up the delicious pan sauce. A simple green salad or roasted vegetables make a fresh and balanced side. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for added color and aroma.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to keep the pork tender. Avoid freezing as the texture of mushrooms may change after thawing.
