Chipotle peppers give every bite of these pork medallions a bit of kick. The spiciness pairs well with the cinnamon and sweet cherries.—Roxanne Chan, Albany, California Ingredients:
1 pork tenderloin (3/4 pound), cut into 1-inch slices |
1/4 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1/2 cup frozen pitted dark sweet cherries, thawed and halved |
3 tablespoons orange juice |
1 tablespoon sliced almonds |
1 tablespoon orange marmalade |
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar |
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
thinly sliced green onions, optional |
Directions:
1. Flatten pork slices to 1/2-in. thickness. Combine the sugar, salt and cinnamon; sprinkle over meat. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook pork in oil in batches until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
