PORK MEDALLIONS WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 200 D/F. Cut the tenderloins crosswide into 1/2 inch slices. Place slices between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound the pork gently until it is about 1/4 inch thick. On a plate, combine flour, salt and pepper to taste. Coat the pork with seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Continue until all pieces are coated.
• 2. In a large 10-12 inch saute pan over medium high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Working in batches, add the pork to the pan in a single layer and saute turning once, until golden brown, 1 1/2 - 2 minutes on each side. As you add pieces to the saute pan, add the remaining olive oil if needed. Transfer to an oven proof platter and keep warm in 200 degree oven.
• 3. Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic and rosemary and saute, stirring, for 30-60 seconds. Raise the heat to high add the wine (or extra chicken stock) and deglaze the pan to dislodge any browned bits on the pan bottom. Boil until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and again boil until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the capers, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Remove pork medallions from oven and pour sauce over it and garnish with the lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
• 4. I serve this dish with potatoes that have been roasted with a little fresh lemon juice, olive oil and fresh rosemary. I like to use the small new potatoes as they will only take a short while to roast. Serve with a salad if you like and good, crusty bread. Enjoy!

PORK CHOPS IN LEMON-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Dry the chops with paper towels, and season aggressively with salt, pepper and the thyme. Swirl the olive oil into a large skillet, and heat over medium until the oil begins to shimmer. Add chops, and cook until well browned on each side and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate, and cover to keep warm.
• Drain the fat from the skillet, then melt 2 tablespoons of butter in it over medium heat until sizzling. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté until the aromatics soften, reducing the heat if necessary, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the wine and chicken stock, raise heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Stir in the capers, parsley, lemon zest and juice and hot sauce to taste (if you're using it), and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until it's melted and the sauce looks smooth. Nestle the pork chops into the sauce, and allow them to warm up for a couple of minutes, then serve, pouring sauce over each pork chop to taste. Garnish with more fresh parsley.
