Pork Tenderloin in a Sherry, Paprika and Mushroom Sauce by Nicola Hazel of Jannettas Gelateria in St Andrews
In 1908, Nicola’s Great Grandfather Bennett Jannetta started the family business at 31 South Street, St Andrews as a soda parlour and tobacconist. Her grandfather Charlie, at the same time as maintaining the ice-cream side of the business, expanded into fish and chips by opening a restaurant next door. And then in the late 1960s and 70s, Nicola’s parents expanded the range of ice-cream flavours dramatically and refurbished the shop into a modern Italian Gelateria. Nicola and her husband Owen have now been running the business for over 21 years. Their aim is to carry on the family tradition of making the best quality Gelato.
Here, Nicola has created a savoury recipe that is guaranteed to bring everyone together around the kitchen table. It’s simple to make but full of flavour…. it’s also about as comforting as it gets! It makes an ideal midweek meal for the whole family and is best served with rice, pasta or mashed potatoes.
Time to prepare: 15 minutes
Time to cook: 30-40 minutes
Ingredients: Serves 6
6kg tenderloin pork, chopped into bite sized pieces
1 onion, finely chopped
300g button mushrooms, quartered
1 tbsp. butter
A drizzle of sunflower oil
1 heaped tbsp. plain flour
1 tsp. paprika
250ml vegetable stock cube
50ml dry sherry
1 tbsp. tomato puree
150ml crème fraiche
Rice, pasta or mashed potatoes to serve
Method:
- Heat the butter and sunflower oil in a pan and sauté the chopped onions until transparent.
- Add the prepared pork in with the onions and fry until browned all over.
- Add the flour and paprika to the pork and onions and mix.
- Gradually add the vegetable stock, dry sherry and tomato puree, mixing all the time over a medium heat to ensure the sauce slowly thickens, cooks through and doesn’t become lumpy.
- Finally, add the button mushrooms and crème fraiche and allow to gently simmer for 20-30 minutes. Serve with rice, pasta or mashed potatoes.
