Pork Medallions With Cherry Sauce image

Based on a recipe from BH&G's book, Easy Everyday Low Carb Cookbook. The intro states, "During the autumn months, pork is often prepared with fruit such as prunes or apples. These quick-seared medallions cloaked in a delightful sweet cherry sauce provide a whole new reason -- and season -- to pair pork with fruit." We'll see how 'Zaar's nutritional calculator does, because the book states this is 12g carbs per serving.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut pork medallions. Look for them in the meat section of your grocery store.
  • If you don't have apple cider, you can substitute apple juice. However, the cider will give the sauce a richer flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the pork medallions. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • To make sure the pork is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the pork medallions immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Apple cherry pork medallions are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
