How to cook: pork steak with spinach sauce and baked potatoes ENG/ CZ

ENG
Hail to the cooking master! Seriously though, I know it doesn't look that way but most of my diet consists of beans and legumes, rice, vegetables and vegetarian stuff. But, most of these delicious meals don't look very nice in a photo, so you have to get over with the fact that all the recipes are not very healthy... I'll try my best to get a nice photo of my delicious vegan Indian lentil soup or of my favourite falafel with corn-tomato salad. But right now:




Ingredients:
4 slices of pork meat
300g fresh/ frozen leaf spinach (you can use chopped but I like to chop it on my own)
1 carton of cream (200ml), milk
4 bigger potatoes
cheese for sprinkling (Swiss)
small onion
3-4 cloves of garlic
white flour
salt, pepper, nutmeg, oil

Preheat the oven for approx. 180-200°C and put small amount of oil to a pot and put it on the stove. Chop the onion finely and throw it to the pot and slowly fry the onion brown. Meanwhile rinse he meat and use salt and pepper (I usually use four colours) to spice each slice. Put aside. Wash the potatoes and cut them in halves. put them in a baking pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper and put them in the oven. Peel the garlic cloves and put them to a garlic press and right onto the pan. It takes just a short time to turn the garlic brown, then you sprinkle it with flour, stir and then pour the cream in it and stir again, a lot. Then grate a little nutmeg in it and add the spinach (it should be defrosted!). Wait until it's heated and check on the potatoes (move them a bit, so they don't stick to the pan, pour a spoon of oil perhaps). Taste the spinach and add salt and pepper, as much as necessary. Put off the stove. Put on a frying pan, little oil, wait. Throw the steaks on, slowly fry. Pour the spinach to a blender (skip this if you used chopped one) and let it chop/mix. Put back to the pot and on the stove. Turn the meat over, check on potatoes (they should be almost ready). Now check the consistency of the spinach sauce, pour milk, if necessary. Meat should be ready, keep heating the sauce. Sprinkle the potatoes with cheese and put them back in the oven for a minute (you can turn everything off right now). Arrange on the plate and serve. Yummy! ¨
Note - from the amount given, four people should be able to eat. The portion on the picture is my SO, who can handle bigger portions. And, unlike me, never gains a pound, hmph...
