Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt
2 1-pound pork tenderloins, sliced into 2-to-3-inch medallions
1 cup crumbled fruitcake
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup dry sherry
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Sauteed spinach, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Dissolve 1/4 cup salt in 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Add the pork medallions, cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, spread the fruitcake on a plate and microwave until slightly dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Chop any large pieces of fruit or nuts, then let cool. Mix the butter, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a medium bowl. Mix in the dried fruitcake and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Drain the pork and pat dry. Insert a paring knife into the curved side of each medallion to create a small pocket in the middle. Open the pocket with the knife or your fingertip and tuck spoonfuls of the fruitcake stuffing inside. Secure each opening with a toothpick.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season the pork with pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat, then add the pork and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish and bake until cooked through, about 12 minutes.

Remove the toothpicks and slice the pork medallions in half crosswise. Serve with spinach, if desired, and drizzle with the cream sauce.

STUFFED PORK MEDALLIONS



Stuffed pork medallions image

Perfect for al fresco eating, pop these on the barbecue or follow our oven-cook instructions when the sun doesn't shine...

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 boneless pork loin steaks or medallions
large bunch sage , leaves picked (you need 32 leaves)
125g ball mozzarella , sliced into 16 pieces
2 lemons , halved
a little olive oil
you will also need some cocktail sticks

Steps:

  • To prepare the pork, lay a medallion on a board. Using the tip of a sharp knife, make a deep pocket in the side without cutting all the way through. Wiggle the knife so the pocket is bigger in the middle than it is at the opening. Stuff each pocket with a piece of cheese and a sage leaf. Thread a cocktail stick through the opening to close the pocket, then press another sage leaf on top of each medallion. Squeeze over juice from one of the lemon halves. The medallions can be prepared a day ahead and kept in the fridge.
  • To cook, wait until the coals are ashen. Drizzle medallions with a little oil and, starting with the sage-leaf side, barbecue medallions for 4 mins on each side, cooking them in batches if needed. While the medallions cook, barbecue the lemon halves, cut-side down, until charred, for squeezing over. Season and serve.

STUFFED PORK CHOPS WITH CRANBERRIES



Stuffed Pork Chops with Cranberries image

Pork chops, baked or grilled, stuffed with cranberries and pine nuts, served with cranberry sauce.

Provided by POPS OHIO

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Stuffed

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup dried cranberries
2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 cups chicken stock
¼ cup white wine
¼ cup red wine
¼ cup cranberry juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 (1-inch thick) pork chops
salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons dried cranberries
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • To prepare the cranberry filling: Soak 1 cup dried cranberries in the boiling water for 20 minutes. Drain the cranberries, reserving 1/4 cup of the water. Place the cranberries, reserved water, 2 tablespoons pine nuts, cinnamon, cloves, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a food processor. Process until finely chopped; set aside.
  • Bring the chicken stock to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the chicken stock has reduced to half its original volume, about 15 minutes. Add the white wine, red wine, cranberry juice, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Continue cooking until the sauce has reduced by half again, about 10 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cut a pocket into the side of each pork chop, about 3/4 of the way through. Stuff each pork chop with the dried cranberry mixture, then season on all sides with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Cook the pork chops on one side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the pork chops over, and cook another few minutes until browned on the other side too.
  • Pour 1 cup of the sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Place the skillet in the preheated oven, and bake until the pork is no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • To serve, place each pork chop onto a warmed dinner plate, and spoon the sauce from the skillet over top. Sprinkle the pork chops with 2 tablespoons dried cranberries and 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts for decoration. Serve with the remaining cranberry sauce.

CRANBERRY APPLE STUFFED PORK LOIN



Cranberry Apple Stuffed Pork Loin image

An easy and impressive dish that tastes wonderful.

Provided by tahoegirl

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 1h35m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup chicken flavored dry stuffing mix
½ cup water
1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
1 cup chopped apple
⅓ cup dried cranberries
⅓ cup chopped toasted pecans
¼ cup finely chopped onion
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Combine the stuffing mix and water in a mixing bowl; set aside. Grease a roasting pan with cooking spray.
  • Trim the fat and connective tissue from the pork loin. Cut from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2-inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Place the pork loin between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch.
  • Stir the apple, cranberries, pecans, and onion into the stuffing mix. Season the pork loin with salt and pepper to taste, then spread the stuffing mix onto the cut side of the loin. Roll the pork into a firm cylinder, and secure with cooking twine. Place into the prepared roasting pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Cover the meat with two layers of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes. Remove kitchen twine before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork medallions: Look for medallions that are evenly thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they cook evenly and stay juicy.
  • Don't overcook the pork: Pork medallions are best when cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality cranberry sauce: The cranberry sauce is a key component of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a sauce that is made with fresh cranberries and has a tart flavor.
  • Make sure the stuffing is cooked through: The stuffing should be cooked through before you stuff the pork medallions. This will help prevent the pork from becoming contaminated with bacteria.
  • Serve the pork medallions immediately: Pork medallions are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help ensure that they are juicy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Pork medallions with cranberry stuffing is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, the cranberry stuffing is tart and flavorful, and the gravy is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
