Ingredients
4 large pork chops
10 tbsp Italian olive oil

freshly ground black pepper
20 thin asparagus spears
1 medium onion, finely chopped
100g/3½oz fresh porcini mushrooms, sliced
100g/3½oz oyster mushrooms, sliced

Method
1. Dip the pork in olive oil, season with salt and pepper and then cook on a preheated griddle pan for about two minutes on each side.
2. Dip the aspargus in olive oil, season with salt and pepper and griddle for about five minutes.

6. Season and drizzle with olive oil then cook under a hot grill for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese starts to melt.
