SCHWEINEMEDAILLONS
This elegant German dish (GERMAN PORK MEDALLIONS WITH MUSHROOMS IN COGNAC-CREAM SAUCE) is served at Baden-Baden's Badischer Hof, a 450-year old monastery turned hotel. The mushrooms used were fresh Black Forest mushrooms (Steinpilze), rarely available here, alas, except in dried form (shops specializing in German foods carry them). You can, of course, substitute our familiar white mushrooms with good results. Serve with boiled new potatoes or, better yet, with homemade Spaetzle.

Steps:
- Brown the pork in 2 Tablespoons of the butter in a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat; remove to a shallow baking dish, cover with foil and keep warm. Deglaze the skillet with Cognac or good brandy and wine, add broth and reduce by two-thirds; pour over the pork, re-cover and set in a warm oven 250°F.
- Add the remaining 3 Tablespoons butter to the skillet and sauté mushrooms and shallots 3 to 5 minutes over moderate heat until juices ooze out; add dried mushrooms, if you like, and sauté about 5 minutes longer or until mushrooms are limp and juices have evaporated. Stir pork medallions (and all their liquid) back into skillet, add half and half and simmer over medium low heat 10 to 15 minutes until cream reduces by half and is the consistency of a thin white sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serves 4-6.
