Pork Medallions With Mushrooms

Irmgard's Note:

This recipe from Canadian Living is easy to prepare, is on the table in under half an hour and yet is elegant enough for a special occasion. If you don't like pork, boneless chicken breasts can be substituted.

This was easy and fast to make. I didn't use the red peppers (don't like them) but other wise followed recipe to a T. Made for Chef Alphabet Soup

This recipe is so easy to do for a weeknight. The pork was cooked to perfection. We found that there was too much sauce. Thanks Irmgard :) Made for Bargain Basement tag game
