Pork Medallions With Cherry Sauce

Submitted by Boomette

"I tried this recipe yesterday. I used dried cranberries instead of cherries. They were cheaper. It's from Cooking Light. This recipe is a hearty meal for 2. I used 1 whole pork tenderloin and it gives more."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 8 ounces pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
• 3⁄4 cup apple juice
• 1⁄2 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple jelly
• olive oil flavored cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons green onions, minced

directions

1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag. Add pork slices. Seal bag; shake well. Remove pork from bag, shake off excess flour.
2. Combine apple juice and next 4 ingredients in a 2-cup glass measure; set aside.
3. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add pork; cook 1 minute on each side or until browned. Remove pork from pan.
4. Add apple juice mixture to pan; bring to a boil, scrapping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook 5 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened. Return pork to pan, reduce heat and cook 1 minute. Sprinkle with green onions.

This was fantastic!!!!! It was even better than I thought it would be. Totally perfect, well balanced flavors that make you hungry for more. I made for a small dinner that my clients wanted catered, and there wasn't a plate at the end of the meal that didn't look nearly licked clean. I made this with WiGal's Potato Croquettes for the Zaar Stars Tag. Thank so much for sharing!

Excellent! I used a cherry flavored dried cranberry and an apple pepper jelly for this recipe. Very easy to prepare and cooks up quick. I thicken the sauce by cooking it quickly on high. It reduced just fine. We loved it. Served it with a salad and recipe #277095 for a wonderful dinner. Thanks for posting. :)
