Recipe(tried): Pork Medallions with Spiced Tomato Gravy for Two

After a long weekend of hiking and shopping in a cute little mountain town I decided I would cook a nice dinner for my family and it turned out great.

Pork Medallions with Spiced Tomato Pan Gravy

1 1/2 tablespoons veggie oil
1 3/4 lb. piece pork loin, cut into 1 inch thick medallions
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup canned tomato puree
1/2 cup water
1-2 tablespoons dry white wine
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Heat oil in a large pan over medium high heat until very hot but not smoking. Brown pork peices transferring to plate when browned. In oil remaining in pan saute the onions and garlic over medium heat unitl onions are golden. Put pork back in pan with any accumulated juices then add the rest of the ingredients stir to combine and simmer covered over low heat 15 minutes or until pork is cooked through. Season pan gravy with salt and pepper.

I served the gravy over lemon garlic angel hair pasta with that we had brown sugar and orange glazed baby carrots and Gina's Pineapple Nut Upside Down cake and vanilla ice cream for desert. YUMMY!
