Pork with a Creamy Mushroom Sauce

This would be a pretty standard dinner for us. Usually I make a main course that's meat or protein and a starch-less vegetable dish on the side. The mushroom sauce is adapted from Bacon and Mushroom Cream from Jamie's Food Revolution. (As a side note, most of my recipes will feed 2 people, with 1-2 servings extra for leftovers. If the recipe makes more, I'll make a note of it.) 

Ingredients:
for the meat: a pound of pork chops (chicken breasts would work fine too)
olive oil 
salt and pepper
white cooking wine
for the mushroom sauce:
1/2 pound portobello or button mushrooms, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
4 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped (I forgot to buy this, and used a few shakes of ground thyme, it was fine!)
salt and pepper
1/3 cup sour cream or heavy cream (I used mostly sour cream with a little bit of heavy cream to top it off)
for the salad (a lot of times, I just use what I have on hand):
2 servings of romaine lettuce, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
2-3 oz of mozzarella cheese, cubed
a handful of toasted, sliced almonds
1/2 a cucumber, halved and sliced
for the basic Greek salad dressing:
5-6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2-3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
a few shakes of oregano
salt and pepper

To prepare the pork, heat a large frying pan on the stove to medium-high heat and add a few lugs of olive oil. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper and add it to the pan, turning after a couple of minutes so that both sides are browned. After browning, add 1/3 cup white wine to the pan, cover and turn the heat down to medium-low and let the pork simmer for about half an hour or so until it's tender. 

To prepare the creamy mushroom sauce, put another frying pan on medium heat and add a lug of olive oil. Throw in the chopped onion and fry until golden and tender. Add the mushrooms and thyme and continue to fry for a couple of minutes. Season carefully to taste with salt and pepper. Add the cream, bring the sauce to a boil, and let it bubble and simmer for a few minutes. Serve hot, on top of your pork or chicken. 

To prepare the salad dressing, add all of your ingredients in a jar (with a lid!) and shake until well-mixed. For the salad, add all of the ingredients together in a large bowl and toss. Eat and enjoy!
