Sauteed Medallions of Pork With Prunes

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Place pork slices in a flat dish. Combine salt, pepper and cumin, and blend well. Season pork slices with mixture.

2. Step 2

   Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet that is large enough to hold the slices in one layer. When the oil is hot, add meat and rosemary and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until browned.

3. Step 3

   Turn slices over and cook for 5 minutes more. Reduce heat and continue cooking for a few minutes longer or until done. Transfer meat to a warm platter.

4. Step 4

   Remove fat from skillet, add onions and garlic, and stir until wilted. Add port wine, vinegar, tomato paste and chicken broth. Stir to dissolve brown particles that cling to the bottom. Add prunes, and cook until reduced by half.

5. Step 5

   Add pork slices and any accumulated juices. Add butter; bring to a simmer, shaking the pan to blend butter. Sprinkle with coriander or parsley. Serve immediately.
