Pork chops with shiitake mushrooms

This awesome recipe is inspired by one of the great Delia Smith's favourite recipes. The flavour that this recipe gives the pork chops is quite exquisite, if I do say so myself.

Serves 2

Ingredients

2 pork chops
200g shiitake mushrooms
fresh thyme
juice of half a lemon
25g plain flour
100ml warm water
salt and plenty of cracked black pepper
1 tbsp of double cream and 1 tbsp of soft cream cheese whisked together.

Method

1. Heat the oven to 200 degrees.
   
2. Start by heating a little oil in a pan and then seal the pork chops a minute on each side.
   
3. Place on tin foil, which is large enough to turn up around the edges, and season generously with salt and pepper.
   
4. In the same pan, adding more oil if necessarily, fry the chopped shiitake mushrooms until soft. Add the lemon juice and mix until absorbed.
   
5. Mix in the flour and then add the water and simmer until the mixture is thick.
   
6. Turn off the heat and mix in the soft cheese and cream mixture.
   

Serve with steamed vegetables and baby new potatoes.
