Equipment
- 1 baking tray
Ingredients
- 100 g pork ham smoked, cooked
- 2 pcs onions medium-sized
- 250 g mushrooms portobello
- 500 g pork loin sliced
- 125 g mozzarella grated
- 1 pcs tomato sliced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp sea salt kosher
- 1 tsp ground pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp marjoram dried
- 2 tsp onion granules
- 4 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tbsp parmesan grated
Instructions
- Clean the mushroom caps and cut them in small pieces. Chop the onions as small as possible and cut it into small pieces, similar to the size of the mushrooms.
- Place the pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or a rolling pin, pound them gently to a thickness of about half a centimetre (0.2 inch).
- Season both sides with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and onion granules.
- Heat three tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the meat slices for about half a minute on each side to develop a golden-brown colour.
- Remove them to a plate and set them aside.
- In the same pan, add more olive oil (if needed) and sauté the chopped onion over medium-low heat until softened, about a minute or two. Add the minced garlic and stir well. Add the finely chopped ham.
- Add half a teaspoon of salt, mix, and cook for a minute. Add the mushrooms, cover the pan, and let them release their moisture for about five minutes.
- Season with sea salt, marjoram, onion granules, and freshly ground pepper. Mix well and sauté over medium heat, uncovered, until the liquid in the pan evaporates.
- Grease a baking tray with a spoonful of olive oil and place the meat slices in it. Distribute the entire amount of sauteed mushrooms over the pork chops.
- Place a slice of tomato on top of each one. Top each chop with a thick layer of grated mozzarella and grate a small amount of Parmesan.
- Put the tray in a preheated oven at 220°C (430°F) for ten minutes, or until the cheese has melted and turns golden brown.
