Two in a row - this is getting exciting and I am feeling how I used to when my blogging was more frequent.
Tonight's meal is an Italian inspired dish - pork in nice rich and creamy mushroom sauce accompanied by creamy and a little cheesy polenta. The original recipe called for Veal Cutlets but I quite fancied it with pork instead.
Not only was this dish very easy to put together, the flavour in the sauce was magnificent and very mourish... I could have just actually had a bowl of the sauce... spoon please? And as with any polenta dish you are guaranteed a good arm workout LOL!
