Sauteed Medallions Of Pork With Prunes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat.
• Gently pound out the pork medallions to 1/4 inch thick and season with salt and pepper.
• Add the meat to the skillet in batches and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and set aside.
• Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the wine and prunes, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth, nutmeg, cinnamon, some salt and about 1 teaspoon ground pepper.
• Lower the heat and simmer until the prunes are plumped, about 5 minutes.
• Return the pork to the skillet; heat through.
• Serve the pork and prunes on plates and top with the parsley.

Steps:

• Simmer the prunes in one cup white wine until tender (about 30 minutes), adding a little water if necessary. Set aside.
• Wipe the pork medallions dry with paper towels and dredge them lightly with flour. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet and brown the pork on both sides.
• Add the remaining wine, red currant jelly, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to boil and add the prunes. Cook the medallions, stirring frequently, for four to five minutes or until they have lost their pinkness in the middle. Do not overcook them or they will be tough. If the sauce needs it, add a little lemon juice to cut any sweetness.

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:

• Place pork slices in a flat dish. Combine salt, pepper and cumin, and blend well. Season pork slices with mixture.
• Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet that is large enough to hold the slices in one layer. When the oil is hot, add meat and rosemary and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until browned.
• Turn slices over and cook for 5 minutes more. Reduce heat and continue cooking for a few minutes longer or until done. Transfer meat to a warm platter.
• Remove fat from skillet, add onions and garlic, and stir until wilted. Add port wine, vinegar, tomato paste and chicken broth. Stir to dissolve brown particles that cling to the bottom. Add prunes, and cook until reduced by half.
• Add pork slices and any accumulated juices. Add butter; bring to a simmer, shaking the pan to blend butter. Sprinkle with coriander or parsley. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place pork slices in a flat dish. Combine salt, pepper, cumin and paprika, and sprinkle the slices with this mixture on both sides.
• Heat oil in a skillet large enough to hold the slices in one layer. When oil is quite hot, add meat and cook over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until browned. Turn the slices and cook about 5 more minutes. Reduce heat and continue cooking about 2 minutes more, turning the slices.
• 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:

• 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:

• To brine the pork: Dissolve the salt and brown sugar in 2 cups cold water in a glass or stainless steel bowl large enough to hold the tenderloin. Add the allspice, peppercorns, bay leaves and thyme. Submerge the meat, cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours (overnight is better). Before cooking, remove the tenderloin, pat dry and bring to room temperature. Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• To make the sauce and roast: Simmer the prunes in the red wine until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in the ginger and orange zest, and steep for 10 minutes
• Heat the olive oil in a heavy stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly brown the tenderloin, about 3 minutes per side. (Turn off heat and use the same pan to make the sauce.) Transfer the tenderloin to a small roasting pan. Roast uncovered for about 15 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 140 degrees. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. (Residual heat will cause the meat to continue to cook a bit while resting.)
• To finish the sauce, melt the butter in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and thyme, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, until softened, stirring with a wooden spoon. Scrape up any browned bits to enrich the sauce. Add chicken broth, turn up the heat, and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in the prunes and wine, and simmer for another 2 minutes. Add the Madeira if using. Taste and correct the seasoning, then add the potato starch mixture and cook for another minute to thicken. Spoon sauce and prunes over the sliced tenderloin.

Steps:

• Dust the pork with a little of the seasoned flour. Heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan, then cook the pork in batches for about 3 mins on each side. Remove from the pan, then add the prunes, brandy, wine, mustard and redcurrant jelly and simmer to reduce the mixture by half.
• Stir in the crème fraîche to make a creamy sauce, season well, then return the pork to the pan to heat through. Serve with tagliatelle and broccoli or a green salad.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add meat; cook 5 min. or until each piece is browned on both sides, turning after 3 min.
• Mix gravy and dressing until blended; pour over meat. Add peas; bring to boil. Meanwhile, prepare stuffing as directed on package.
• Spoon stuffing over ingredients around edge of skillet; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 8 min. or until stuffing is heated through and meat is done (145ºF). Remove from heat. Let stand 3 min. before serving.
