Steps:
- Season the pork medallions with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat and cook the meat until there is just a slight blush in the center about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and tent with foil.

Add the chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the cherries and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the sauce over the pork medallions and serve.

HERBED PORK TENDERLOINS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place the tenderloins on a sheet pan and pat them dry with paper towels. Combine the rosemary, thyme, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Rub the tenderloins all over with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle all sides with the herb mixture. If there is a thinner "tail," fold it underneath so the tenderloin is an even thickness throughout. Wrap the tenderloins completely with a single layer of prosciutto. (I place the prosciutto sideways with the ends wrapping under the tenderloins.) Tie in several places with kitchen string to hold the prosciutto and the "tail" in place.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the middle of the end of the tenderloin reads 140 degrees F for medium rare and 145 degrees F for medium. Cover the tenderloins tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice diagonally in thick slices and serve warm with apple chutney.

- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the remaining scallions, the celery, garlic and rice. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, 2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; cover and gently simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, broil the pork, turning once, until lightly browned and a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F, 16 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes.
- Stir the parmesan and remaining parsley and dill into the rice; season with salt and pepper. Slice the pork and serve with the rice. Top with more parmesan and parsley.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork medallions: Look for medallions that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they are tender and juicy when cooked.
- Make sure your herbs are fresh: Fresh herbs will give your pork medallions the best flavor. If you can't find fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overcook the pork medallions: Pork medallions are best when they are cooked to medium or medium-rare. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
- Let the pork medallions rest before serving: Letting the pork medallions rest for a few minutes before serving will help them retain their juices and flavor.
Conclusion:
Herb-crusted pork medallions are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that will impress your family and friends.
