PORK CHOPS IN GARLIC MUSHROOM SAUCE
This recipe is my twist on a fancy restaurant meal we got on Valentine's Day. The recipe has half the amount of garlic than was originally used. Hope everyone else enjoys it just as much as we do. Garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or thyme leaves.

Steps:
- Season both sides of pork chops with paprika, salt, and pepper.

PORCUPINES IN MUSHROOM SAUCE
Another family recipe - I noticed that all of the recipes for porcupines use a tomato sauce, and thought I'd post our alternative. Cooking the meatballs in the microwave gets rid of a lot of fat - I also cook meatballs for spaghetti in this fashion. I've made this with reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup and with ground turkey - both work well, and don't have much effect on the final dish. Prep time includes time to microwave the meatballs

Steps:
- Combine the hamburger, egg, onion, rice, salt, and pepper and blend well.
- Form into small meatballs.
- Place meatballs in a glass pie dish and cover with a microwave-safe plate.
- Microwave on high for 9 minutes.
- When done remove from microwave carefully (it will be very hot, and will make a lot of steam when you remove the cover plate).
- Pour the fat out and discard.
- Oooh, look at all the fat you got rid of!
- Combine the 2 cans of soup with 1/2 cup water in a crockpot.
- Add the meatballs and cook for 1-2 hours or until the rice has softened (not to long, though, or the rice will absorb all of the moisture and you'll just have one large mass).
- Serve over mashed potatoes.
PORCINI MUSHROOM SAUCE

Boil until liquid mixture is reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes.
- Mix butter and flour in small bowl to blend; whisk into mushroom mixture. Simmer until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Brown the porcupines: Browning the porcupines before adding them to the sauce helps to develop their flavor and give them a crispy texture.
- Use a variety of mushrooms: Feel free to use a variety of mushrooms in this dish, such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms. This will add depth and complexity to the sauce.
- Don't overcook the porcupines: Porcupines are a delicate protein, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked porcupines will be tough and chewy.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The porcupines will start to lose their crispiness if they sit for too long.

This Porcupines in Mushroom Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The porcupines are tender and juicy, while the mushroom sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
