If you want to slightly diversifytraditional recipe, then your trump card is pork baked with mushrooms. The principle of cooking is about the same, the basis will not be potatoes, but mushrooms. But just do not forget that the mushrooms, before they are placed in a baking dish, must first of all boil, in order to avoid food poisoning. You know what ecology is today. So, mushrooms first boil, then finely cut, and lay out the layer on the bottom of the mold. Then follow the familiar analogy. Only one small difference - the cooking time should be reduced by ten minutes, so that our mushrooms, their upper layer, are not burnt. Honestly I'll tell you, it turns out incredibly delicious, but here it is often not necessary to cook pork with mushrooms.
