hearty and delicious

Heat the oil or clarified butter to 1/3 temperature in a sufficiently large pan. It really shouldn’t be too hot at first so that the onions and mushrooms don’t burn. Roughly chop the onions and sauté until translucent. Slice the mushrooms and braise them for about 5 minutes. Remove the onions and mushrooms from the pan, leaving the fat in the pan. Cut the pork fillet into cubes approximately 2 x 2 cm. Increase the pan temperature to 2/3. Once the temperature is reached, fry the pork fillet cubes until crispy on all sides. The pan shouldn’t be too small so that the meat doesn’t absorb water. Roughly chop the bacon. Once the meat is crispy, add the bacon and fry for about 2 minutes more. Roughly chop the cucumbers. Add the barbecue sauce, soy sauce, mustard, and cucumbers to the meat and let them caramelize for about 1 minute. Pour in the cream and let it reduce for about 1 minute. Season with pepper and, if you omitted the soy sauce, salt. If you don’t want pork fillet, you can also use chicken breast instead. Serve with a cold beer and spaetzle. A delicious, easy-to-prepare, and hearty dish for an evening with your (best) friend.
