Pork Fillet with Mushrooms

For how easy this dish is, and the time it takes it's extremely tasty, and easily doable in a rushed evening!

Ingredients: 

500g Pork tenderloin fillet
300g Mushrooms
1 Lemon
300 ml Creme Fraiche
Green / Red / Yellow Peppers
Courgette
Onion
Couscous (Enough for however many people are eating, it will say on the packet) 

How to:

Vegetables for the Couscous
- Chop up the peppers, courgette and onion, and pop them in the frying pan to soften them all up.

- Slice the pork into 5mm slices, and in a heated frying pan brown on both sides, which should take about 3 minutes for each side. Remove from the pan and pop into a bowl for later. 

- Slice the mushrooms (I just chopped mine in half apart from the really large ones) and fry in the pan for about 3 minutes. Remove and put in with the pork in the bowl. 

- Slice the lemon and brown ever so slightly, and remove and put in a different bowl. 

- Boil your kettle, and add enough water just to cover the Couscous, and cover with a lid or a chopping board. This will take about 5 minutes for the Couscous to "cook". When it has add in the vegetables and a little oil or butter, and stir in nicely. Add seasoning to taste.

- Return the pork and the mushrooms to the frying pan, now on a low heat, and add in the creme fraiche and stir, reducing slightly.Add seasoning to taste.

Ready to add in the creme fraiche
- When reduced, pop the lemons back in and stir in very gently. Serve alongside your Couscous and enjoy!

The finished dish.
