This is delicious. The only change was to use arrowroot starch in place of cornstarch. The medallions were flattened slightly before sprinkling with seasoning. Dinner was ready in a snap. This was served with recipe #218277 and a side salad.

Very good recipe! All of the flavors blend well together, very tasty. Pork was tender. Easy to make. Will definately make this again! Thanks for the recipe!

Good, easy recipe for pork tenderloin, and a pleasant change from the sweeter recipes I'd been making later (involving maple syrup, or apples, or whatever). The capers were a lovely touch -- I doubled 'em, and I'm glad I did. The pork turned out quite tender. I have to be honest and say this wasn't my absolute most favorite pork dish ever -- but it's good enough to be added to the rotation. I'll definitely make it again. Thanks so much for posting it!

Very easy and quick. It's not something we are likely to do all the time, but was a great way to use up some leftover tenderloin we had on hand.
