PORK MEDALLIONS WITH PRUNES AND RED WINE
From Rachel Ray - this is delicious & easy - one of her 30 minute meals. It makes a nice gravy so serve with potatoes, thick bread or rice that can soak it up! (I used boneless pork chops, trimmed of fat and pounded thin).

SAUTEED PORK TENDERLOIN MEDALLIONS
Steps:
- In a large skillet heat the oil. Add the medallions and saute them over high heat for 2 minutes a side to brown them. Lower the heat and continue to cook slowly for about 5 minutes or until just cooked through. Don't overcook or they will toughen. When done, remove the medallions to a serving plate.
- To the remaining oil add the cumin, turmeric and tomatoes and stir for a few seconds just to heat the tomatoes; season to taste with salt and crushed red pepper and spoon over the medallions.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, pour the wine over the prunes and let soak for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Trim the silver skin off the tenderloins. Cut the tenderloins into rounds about 3/4 inch thick. Season the rounds on both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a sauté pan just large enough to hold the rounds, heat the olive oil over high heat. When it smokes, add the pork rounds and brown, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they feel firm to the touch. If they start to get too brown, turn down the heat. Transfer the pork rounds to a warmed platter and set aside in a warm spot. Pour the fat out of the pan.
- Drain the prunes, reserving the wine and prunes separately. Measure out 1/2 cup of the wine. Return the pan to high heat and add the 1/2 cup wine and the prunes. Deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, then stir in the meat glaze, if using. Boil until the wine is reduced by about half; if you have added the glaze, the sauce will develop a lightly syrupy consistency. Add the cream and boil until reduced to a light sauce consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange the pork rounds on warmed plates and spoon the sauce and prunes over the top.

Steps:
- Place pork slices in a flat dish. Combine salt, pepper, cumin and paprika, and sprinkle the slices with this mixture on both sides.

- Transfer slices to a warm platter and keep warm.
- Pour off the fat from skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until onion is wilted and lightly browned. Add wine, vinegar, chicken broth, prunes and tomato paste. Stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Add any juices that have accumulated around the meat. Simmer until the mixture is reduced to about 1 1/4 cups. Add the butter and blend well. Pour the sauce over the medallions and serve hot.

Steps:
- Season pork with salt. Let sit 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix wine, prunes, olives, brown sugar, capers and brine, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and ¼ cup oil in a medium bowl to combine; set sauce aside (or use it to marinate pork up to 12 hours).
- Place a rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Cook pork, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, 6-8 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and let sit 1 minute so pan can cool down a bit. Pour reserved sauce over pork and give pan a few shakes. Transfer to oven and roast pork, basting with sauce halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of tenderloin registers 145°F, 22-26 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
- Return pan to medium-high heat. Add butter to sauce and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until butter is melted and sauce is slightly reduced, 3-5 minutes. Stir in parsley if using.
- Slice tenderloin crosswise against the grain. Transfer to a platter and spoon pan sauce over.
Tips:
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the pork medallions in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, thyme, and rosemary for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- To ensure that the pork medallions are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have prunes on hand, you can substitute dried apricots, raisins, or cranberries.
- For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the pork medallions and add extra vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
- Serve the sauteed pork medallions with prunes over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
