It took me a bit to figure out that your translation must be of "aprópecsenye", which appears to apply to basically any dish made of sliced pork tenderloin or other small cuts of pork!. However, I haven't found a recipe that incorporates all the elements you mention!. The closest is a recipe for "Transylvanian pork chops with mushrooms" on receptura!.hu:
Fry eight deboned pork chops, pounded and seasoned with pepper, individually in 5 dkg butter or margarine!. When they're done, layer them in a baking dish, overlapping like roof tiles!. If needed, add some oil to the remaining butter, and cook a tablespoon of grated onion in it until glassy!. (If you don't like onion, you may omit it!.) Add 20 dkg sliced mushrooms and cook for a few minutes, then add a pinch [literally "the point of a knife's worth"] of paprika and some thyme!. Add 3 dl sour cream [Hungarian sour cream is basically liquid, so you may want to dilute it with some milk] and cook just until it comes to a boil!. Spread the mushroom-sour cream sauce over the meat, and bake it all in a hot oven for half an hour!. (If it appears to be losing too much liquid, either add some milk or cover the pan!.) This can be prepared ahead of time; just heat it through in the oven before serving!.
As you can see, this recipe doesn't use any bacon or parsley, and it uses plain old pork chops instead of expensive tenderloin, but it would be easy to add or substitute these ingredients!. It definitely seems like the sort of "recipe" that just evolves, one family or cook at a time -- and it sounds delicious!Www@FoodAQ@Com
