You probably wouldn't think, but this is a quick one. The time sucker on this dish is the potatoes. So I started the water first and once it was boiling I threw in my red potatoes.

Next was a slow cook of chopped pork, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, salt, pepper, and a little butter. The pork and tomatoes cooked the entire time I did everything else stated below. You can just let it go and it does it's own thing.

The oyster mushrooms were pretty amazing friend, it was a first. I did things a little differently though. I had them soak in milk then I took them and rubbed them in egg and saw them to their final resting place before the inferno: a bag of soft white flour with some salt and pepper too. During this time, of course you have a pan on the burner on high heat with about a half an inch of oil. Place your floured oysters in the pan and cover. Turn over when they are crispy golden brown.

When potatoes are done and are ready to become mashed, I decided to put about 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese, a bit of milk and a chunk of butter. A bit of salt and pepper to taste, of course.
