Prepare the ingredients. Prepare all the ingredients - we will be cooking with them in a moment 🥔✨

Soak the mushrooms. Soak the mushrooms in warm water and let them soften

Slice the potatoes. Peel the potatoes and cut them into smaller pieces

Cook the potatoes. Put the potatoes into salted water and cook over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes until tender (depending on the size of the pieces)

Slice the shallot and spring onion. Cut the shallot into small dice and the spring onion into rings

Sear the meat. Season the pork chop with salt and pepper and sear it in a pan over higher heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown, or let a larger piece finish in the oven at 100 C

Sweat the shallot. In the pan where you seared the meat, melt the butter and saute the shallot over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until translucent

Prepare the mushroom sauce. Add the mushrooms together with the water they were soaked in, add the garlic pressed through a garlic press and the bouillon dissolved in water (or use stock if you have it) and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the liquid reduces into a sauce, then season to taste

Prepare the smashed potatoes. Mash the cooked potatoes, season with salt, add the spring onion and butter, and mix to form a coarse mash
