Saturday we always like to have a slightly better meal than during the week and enjoy a bottle of wine with it. We no longer drink wine during the week. I sometimes have problems thinking about what to cook. After all there are only so many ways you can cook a fillet steak or make a roast or something. So, last weekend I kind of invented a dish - not totally original but it made a nice meal. Matt had a baked potato with it and I also did some coleslaw. Of course being the doofus I am, I forgot to take a picture. This is kind of what it looked like. I don't think there is any asparagus in the sauce though. For those of you who don't like one of my favourite foods, you can, of course leave it out.
Pork Chops, Mushrooms, Asparagus and Mushroom Sauce
Jo's Version
2 pork chops
1/2 cup sliced onions
1/2 lb sliced mushrooms
6 or more asparagus spears chopped in 1 inch pieces
1/2 small can mushroom soup
Set oven temp to 350°F. Place the pork chops in an oven proof baking dish and season slightly. The soup will contain seasoning. Scatter the sliced onions and mushrooms on top and around the chops then sprinkle with the asparagus. Pour over the half can of mushroom soup and place in the oven. Check after 45 minutes to make sure the soup is not drying out, if it is, add a little more. Be careful though, I ended up with a lot of soup on the bottom of the oven, but then I used the whole can. Cook for a total of an hour or until the chops are tender.
Have a great weekend
