On July 08, 2006 in Different Dinner Project, Recipes
4 six ounce pork tenderloin medallions, trimmed
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/4 cup dark raisins
1/2 cup white wine
3 anchovies
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup cashew butter
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup flour or fine bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 cup chicken stock
freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Pour white wine into a small saucepan over medium heat and simmer apricots and raisins until white has evaporated or been absorbed by the fruit. Remove from the heat.
- Meanwhile, place the pork between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound as thin as possible with a meat mallet. Repeat with remaining pork.
- Spread 1/4 of the cashew butter over the pork, then place 1/4 of the apricot and raisin mixture overtop of that. Roll the pork up tightly and tie with string. Repeat with remaining pork and filling.
- Dip the pork bundles into 1 of the beaten eggs, then roll in flour or bread crumbs to coat.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the pork until golden brown, turning to brown each side, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Transfer pork to a baking sheet and place in the oven to finish cooking. If meat is already cooked, transfer to a warmed plate and tent with foil while making the sauce. Allow meat to rest before slicing.
- Add anchovies to the remaining oil and stir until they dissolve. Stir in crushed garlic and season with pepper.
- Stir chicken stock into the oil and raise the heat to bring it to a boil. Continue boiling until it reduces slightly. Remove from heat.
- Whisk remaining egg in a bowl with the cornstarch and lemon juice.
- Slowly add about 1/2 cup of the chicken stock mixture to the egg, stirring frequently. Return this to the skillet, stirring until sauce has thickened to that of a thin custard.
- Slice pork into several pieces. Pour a portion of the prepared sauce in the center of a plate and top with pork to serve.
