How to make it
- Pork Medallions With Goat Cheese
- 1 whole pork tenderloin (have butcher remove membrane)
- 1 log of goat cheese (about 4 ounces)
- small amount of oil for searing
- 1/2 cup prepared honey-roasted peanuts
- basil sprigs (for garnish)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice pork tenderloin into 12 medallions about 1/2- inch thick. Cut off 4 slices of goat cheese log about 1/4 - or 1/2- inch thick (depending on whether you want a mild or strong taste of goat cheese). You will have one slice of goat cheese for every three slices of pork.
- In a large, heavy pan sear pork medallions over medium heat on both sides and a bit on edges. Remove to a baking pan, making four groups of three medallions each (medallions in each group should be touching, more or less in the form of a shamrock). Put a slice of goat cheese on top of each group of pork medallions and bake for five to six minutes.
- To serve, place a grilled pineapple slice on each plate and top with a group of three pork medallions. Drizzle balsamic-molasses reduction over the medallions. Or you may put the pork medallions directly on the plate with chunks of pineapple. Scatter honey-roasted peanuts alongside. Garnish with basil sprigs. Serves 4.
