In the past, in my hometown of Casavieja-Avila, it was customary and traditional, at least in my parents' house, to make mushrooms with bacon and pork loin for dinner on All Saints' Night. While the bells tolled all night, we would make roasted chestnuts (calbotes) over the fire in a perforated pan to enjoy as dessert and keep the evening entertaining around the fire... back then, there was no television. I've continued this tradition but with pork loin and green peppers to avoid the fat, but I wanted to revisit the unmistakable taste of mushrooms with bacon... just this once, it's okay. I made sure to fry it well to release as much fat as possible. I assure you, it's a taste delight.

Ingredients

Serves 4 servings
  1. 1.1 lbspork loin
  2. 1.5 lbsbacon
  3. 1.1 lbsmushrooms
  4. Extra virgin olive oil and salt

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the pork loin and bacon (with the rind removed) into regular pieces.

  2. 2

    In a pot, add about two tablespoons of oil. When hot, add the bacon seasoned with salt. Cook on low heat, stirring to release the fat.

  3. 3

    Continue frying on medium heat until golden. Add the pork loin seasoned with salt. It will release water; let it cook until the liquid evaporates, then continue frying until done, stirring to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Now add the chopped mushrooms with a little salt. They will release water; let it evaporate, and when only the oil remains, continue frying until done.

  5. 5

    Drain to remove all the fat.

  6. 6

    Plate the dish.

  7. 7

    I hope you enjoy it!
