You can treat your family to fine dining straight from your kitchen with these elegant medallions. The nut-crusted pork and silky cheese sauce make this a special dish that I’m proud to serve.—Marie Rizzio, Interlochen, Michigan
Ingredients:
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
3 ounces cambozola cheese, chopped
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
pork:
1/3 cup dried tart cherries
3 tablespoons port wine
1-1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine white wine and shallot. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Add the cream, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, pepper sauce, salt and white pepper. Return to a boil; cook until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. In small bowl, combine cherries and port wine; set aside.
2. Meanwhile, cut pork into 12 slices; flatten slices to 1/2-in. thickness. Place pecans in a food processor; cover and process until finely chopped. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the pecans, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Add pork, a few pieces at a time; shake to coat.
3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook pork in butter in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side or until tender. Drain cherries; serve with pork and sauce. Yield: 6 servings.
