Medallions of Pork With Maple Balsamic Sauce image

Acidic Vinegar cuts the sweetness of the maple syrup, giving a nice bite to the sauce. Pork medallions always have a little star appeal so are very good for entertaining. They cook quite quickly so are great on work nights when company is unexpected. Pair with couscous you have a quick and elegant dinner.

I served the pork medallions over mashed potatoes and they were a perfect match.

I added some chopped bacon to the sauce and it gave it a nice smoky flavor.

I used chicken breasts instead of pork medallions and it was still very good.

This was my first time making pork medallions and they turned out great! The sauce was delicious and the pork was cooked to perfection.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the pork was cooked perfectly.

This recipe was a hit! The pork medallions were tender and juicy, and the maple balsamic sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.
