Notes
Pork fillet served with broccoli is a low-carb high protein meal ideal for anyone trying to maintain muscle or lose weight. Broccoli is high in fibre and beneficial compounds that protect against cancer and aid in hormone detoxification. The delicious mushroom sauce makes it extra decadent and is so easy to make. You can add some crushed garlic to the sauce when you add the port. During the week we prefer to cook light, quick, high protein and low-carb meals, and this is a firm favourite in our house. Mushrooms are high in vitamin B and beta glucans, which is beneficial for gut health and gut bacteria.
