This meal hues close to the classics, and there's nothing wrong with that; classics are classics for a reason. We know they work, and we know we love them. Buttery, creamy potatoes are practically the dictionary definition of classic food, as are seared-to-perfection pork chops. But the star here is the Djion mushroom pan sauce, a lovely combo of umami, spiky mustard, sweet sherry wine and creamy crème fraiche. Three cheers for the classics.
