Pork Filet Mignon with Onions

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

3 pounds Filet Mignon of Pork
4 Brown Onions
7 ounces Dry White Wine
5 tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper


Side dish :
4 large Potatoes
12 ounces Single Cream
4 ounces Swiss Cheese
Nutmeg, Salt and Pepper

 
   
Preparation:  
   
Peel and mince the onions ; cut the filet mignon in 3 to 4 sections.

In a non-stick stewpot, medium flame, heat the oil and brown the onions in for 15 minutes (turn regularly with a wooden spoon).

Brown the meat in the onions for 5 minutes with salt and pepper, then pour the wine, cover with a lid, and let simmer for 30 minutes ; turn from time to time.

Serve each of your guest cutting slices from the meat sections.

Side dish recipe:
Grate the swiss cheese. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices (with the slicer side of your grater or electric mixer) ; display them in an oven dish by layers, add salt and pepper each time one layer is completed ; spread as well a pinch of grated nutmeg and some grated cheese every other layer. Once all slices are displayed, pour the single cream in the dish ; it needs to cover exactly all potatoes ; complete with a little milk if it is not the case (leave the extra cream if you have too much).

Spread the left cheese (1/3) on top of the potatoes ; bake the whole in (pre-heated) oven at 200°C / 400°F for about 1h15. The gratin must be golden brown and the cream should be totally absorbed by the potatoes.
