Tigania (stir–fried pork with mushrooms)

Here’s why you’re going to love this

In Greece, you can find some variation of this recipe in almost every meze restaurant.

My take on it is a little lighter; I use less oil compared to the traditional recipes and I prefer using coconut oil when frying foods.

I always use freshly squeezed lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper and lots and lots of oregano.

You can omit the mushrooms, if you like and/or you can add mustard, depending on your preference.

Instructions

1. Pour the coconut oil in a pan and heat to medium-high. Add the diced pork, sprinkle with oregano, salt and pepper and stir frequently, until the meat begins to turn golden at the edges, about 15 minutes.
2. Add the diced mushrooms and stir them well, until they too are golden at the edges. If you are using mustard, now is the time to add it to your cooking. The mushrooms will probably need about 5–10 more minutes until they are done.
3. When ready, remove from the heat and drizzle your pan with the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Serve immediately with a sprig of parsley on top.
