Just because you are diabetic does not mean you do not crave something sweet once in a while.

Regarding the filling there are so many options, but I absolutely love mushrooms, so I thought I would do a mixed mushroom filling. I got some of my favorite mushrooms: button mushrooms, chanterelle and oyster mushrooms. Use whatever mushrooms you find delicious.

I created this dish for the 3rd round of madbloggerudfordringens. The savory part of the challenge had to contain three ingredients. Pork, berries and leafy green vegetables.
As spice for my chops I have used some classic spices as juniper berries, garlic and fresh rosemary. As a side I have made a twice baked potato, where the contents have been taken out and mixed with savoy cabbage and crisp pancetta and put back in the oven. The other side is black berries sauteed in balsamic vinegar og honey.
I hope you think it is an interesting dish. It tasted great 😀
Sweet dishes, cakes and desserts is always a challenge when you are diabetic, but I pride myself in making things that does not taste “sugar-free”.
