Pork chops with gnocchi in mushroom sauce

The first recipe I used wine in was my famous mushroom sauce. It’s also one of my favourite recipes and the one my friends always ask me to make when we go on a road trip to the seaside. The best thing is that my friend makes the best white wine from white grapes from his vineyard. The sweetness and the citrusy flavour make the sauce more flavourful after some reduction. Mixing in softly cooked gnocchi makes the dish even better as they connect with the flavours. The dish itself could go without pork chops served with fresh lamb’s lettuce. Enjoy it as much as I did and trust me it’s the best dish after a long day at work.
