Cajun spices, recipe follows
Flour, for dredging
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
3 eggs
2 tablespoons water
Smother Gravy, recipe to follow
Scallions sliced on the bias, for garnish
1/4 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup cayenne powder
1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup garlic granules

2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 tablespoon Cajun spices
2 to 4 tablespoons flour
3 cups unsalted chicken stock
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way.
  • Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 360 degrees F.
  • Season the pork with the Cajun spices, according to your taste. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs until foamy and add water.
  • Prepare the pork by dredging in the flour, then dipping in the egg wash, then back in the flour again. Fry the pork in batches, until crust is golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve with Smother Gravy and garnish with scallions.
  • Mix well. Store in glass or plastic container with lid.
  • Yield: about 1 1/2 cups
  • In a heavy bottom saucepan melt the butter over medium heat, add the onions, and cook for 1 minute before adding the red pepper, celery, carrots, garlic, and the thyme. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
  • Turn the heat up to medium and add the Cajun spices and flour. Stirring constantly, saute until you can smell the spices and the flour starts to get a little golden.
  • Pour the chicken stock into the pan while stirring constantly with a whisk. The gravy will start to thicken as it comes to a boil. Add the Worcestershire and reduce the heat to low to prevent the gravy from burning. Allow the gravy to simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH SPICED TOMATO PAN GRAVY



Pork Medallions with Spiced Tomato Pan Gravy image

Categories     Herb     Pork     Tomato     Braise     Quick & Easy     Winter     Noodle     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pork tenderloin (about 3/4 pound), cut crosswise into 1-inch-thick medallions
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup canned tomato purée
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
buttered noodles as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a large heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it brown the pork, patted dry, transferring it as it is browned to a plate. In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the onion and the garlic over moderate heat, stirring, until the onion is golden, add the tomato purée, the water, the nutmeg, the coriander, and the cloves, and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes. Stir in the pork and any juices that have accumulated on the plate and simmer the mixture, covered, for 5 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. Season the pan gravy with salt and pepper and serve it with the pork over the noodles.

Tips:

  • Choosing high-quality pork tenderloin is key. Look for meat that is firm and pink, without any discoloration.
  • To ensure even cooking, slice the tenderloin into medallions of equal thickness.
  • Season the pork medallions generously with salt and pepper before searing. This will help to develop flavor and create a nice crust.
  • Sear the medallions in a hot pan with a little oil until they are browned on both sides. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork medallions. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Allow the pork medallions to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Serve the pork medallions with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Pork medallions with spiced tomato pan gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and flavorful, and the gravy is rich and satisfying. Serve this dish with your favorite sides for a complete meal that the whole family will enjoy.
