    Meanwhile wash the pork fillets, dab dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the pork fillets in it, covered, at medium heat for about 10 minutes.

    In the meantime, clean and slice the mushrooms. Remove pork fillets from the pan and keep warm. Wash and quarter the tomatoes and remove the seeds. Cut the flesh into medium sized cubes.

    Peel and finely chop the onion. Heat the fat in a pot and sauté the onion in it. Add the Brussels sprouts and heat them covered for about 5 minutes at medium heat. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
