Pork Medallions With Lemon and Capers image

This was one of the first recipes I tried from Epicurious. I serve it with easy to prepare Uncle Ben's wild rice/long grain rice combo and sauteed cherry tomatoes. This meal can be for company or an easy week night dinner at the kitchen table. So versatile!
