How to prepare Pork loin in a pan

To prepare pork loin in a pan, start by cleaning the champignon mushrooms. Cut off the earthy end of the stem, remove the skin covering the cap. Clean the mushrooms with a clean, damp cloth to remove any remaining dirt. In a pan, pour 1 tbsp of oil, taken from the total, add a clove of garlic with its skin and let it brown 1. Add the mushrooms 2 and season with salt 3.

Add the pepper as well 4. Then cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for 5 minutes 5. Take the pork loin, remove the fat from the edges (if you like, you can leave it) and cut it into slices about 3/4 inch thick 6.

Coat both sides of the slices in flour 7 8 and remove any excess 9.

In another pan, pour the remaining 1 tbsp of oil 10, place the pork loin slices 11, and brown them over high heat, 1 minute per side 12.

Deglaze with white wine 13 and let the alcohol evaporate. Adjust with salt 14 and continue cooking over low heat for 10 minutes. Then add the mushrooms with all their cooking juices 15.

Continue cooking on high heat for a few minutes 16 17, just enough time to flavor the pork loin slices 18.

Finally, add the chopped parsley 19 20. The pork loin in a pan is ready 21, serve it with its cooking juices.
