PORK MEDALLIONS WITH FIG & PORT WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place figs in a small microwavable bowl and cover with port. Cover the bowl and microwave on High for 3 minutes.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add broth, thyme, bay leaf and the fig-port mixture. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Sprinkle both sides of pork medallions with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper and dredge lightly with flour, shaking off the excess.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the medallions and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the reserved fig-port sauce; bring to a simmer and cook until the pork is cooked, but still a little pink in the center, about 2 minutes. The sauce should be syrupy. If not, remove the medallions with a slotted spoon to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Boil the sauce until its reduced and syrupy. Discard the bay leaf. Serve the sauce over the medallions.

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH WINE AND SAGE

Steps:

• Season medallions with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in frying pan and sear medallions on both sides on high heat.
• Remove medallions and set aside.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine, then lower the heat and scrape the bits off the bottom of the pan stirring for 5 minutes.
• Add the consomme and sage, stir well, and add the medallions back into the sauce.
• Simmer until the pork is done to your liking. I like my medallions just after it has been cooked past med-rare, when it is still a little pink and tender. Using the touch test, it's done when it "gives a very little" when touched on top, in the middle. If it does NOT give, it is definitely done, perhaps a little over done.
• So, when your pork is done, whisk in the butter and serve the pork with a bit of sauce on top.

PORK MEDALLIONS WITH A BLACKBERRY WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Rub -- In a small bowl, add the olive oil, vinegar and seasonings and mix well. Rub this over the pork medallions and place in a small pan and cover well with saran wrap. You can also put them in a ziploc baggie if you prefer. Let them marinate at least 2 hours up to all day.
• Pork -- Heat up a large skillet to medium high heat and add the butter and olive oil. Cook the pork 4-5 minutes on the first side and flip. It should only take 3-4 minutes on the second side. You want a nice sear on both sides and they should be medium, just a hint of pink. But cook them to the temperature you prefer. 140-145 is medium. Just don't overcook them. Remove the pork and set on a plate to the side and cover. And, remember, the pork will continue to cook a bit.
• Sauce -- now in the pan that you cooked the pork in (still on medium to medium/high heat) add the shallots and stir until they start to soften, just a minute. Then deglaze with the white wine and cook another minute. Now, add the blackberry jelly, balsamic vinegar, and chicken broth, herbs, salt and pepper and let reduce. Simmer on medium low for about 3-5 minutes as the sauce reduces. Add in the butter right at the end to make a nice glaze.
• Serve -- Plate the medallions over some cooked rice with the blackberry glaze. ENJOY!
• NOTE: If possible, I would definitely cook the rice in chicken broth and then add some fresh thyme or rosemary to tie together all the flavors, and to add some depth to the dish.
