Pork with mushrooms - general principles of cooking
As you know, pork goes well with many food ingredients. Some believe that the combination of different types of proteins, including mushrooms and meat, in a separate diet is not acceptable. However, in many national cuisines such an unusual combination of products is considered very successful, because the mushroom flavor gives delicate pork a special taste that all eaters will certainly like. And using different variations and varieties of mushrooms, you can experimentally get new and interesting foods.
So that the mushrooms and pork each other are not slaughtered in one dish, it is advisable to boil them separately, and only some time before they are ready to put together. However, some recipes allow the mixing of meat and certain types of mushrooms, especially since pork is cooked fairly quickly. For the preparation of such dishes, culinary experts recommend the use of such varieties of mushrooms as white mushrooms, mushrooms, boletus mushrooms, morels, aspen, chanterelles, boletus, mushrooms.

In principle, the mushrooms described above do not require any lengthy preparation. To eliminate the characteristic bitter taste inherent in some species, it is enough to subject the mushrooms to heat treatment.
With ceps, aspen mushrooms and bolettes, they first thinly peel the skin, separate the stem from the cap, then scald it with uncool boiling water.

Chanterelles and morels wash, boil for 7-10 minutes, then washed in cool water. The film is removed from the pre-film (from the cap), and then simply washed thoroughly.
As for pork, here it is necessary to adhere to some processing conditions. First, the meat can not be soaked, and skip through a stream of flowing water.
