Pork Medallions with Red Currant Sauce
Red currant jelly renders the sauce a vibrant crimson, though you can use any variety of fruit jelly. Add quick-cooking grits and a Caesar salad on the side.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Cut pork crosswise into 8 (1-inch-thick) pieces. Place each piece between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Rub pork with spice mixture.
Step 2
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan, and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Remove pork from pan; keep warm.
Step 3
Add jelly to pan; cook 30 seconds, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Remove from heat; stir in vinegar. Serve sauce with pork; sprinkle with chives.

Problem for me is the amount of vinegar, recommend you add in increments to taste. Used fresh sage & thyme. Served with potato smashed with garlic & carrot bits & steamed asparagus.

real quick, real tasty. I screwed up the rub and added 1/4 teaspoon extra black pepper, but the extra kick worked nicely. We all enjoyed the sauce too (well, the 8 year old balked a bit). :-)
