Pork Medallions Dijon
This was a very tasty dish. Basically what you do is simmer your pork tenderloin medallions in a sauce made up of white wine, dijon mustard, onions and spices. What I like about it was that the flavor of dijon did not completely take over the dish, there was a nice balance between the mustard and the wine. The pork was also nice and tender.
SERVED WITH: Broccoli and farro. This was the first time I had tried farro and I really enjoyed it. Farro is made from spelt so it is probably a yellow light item on the GI diet. If you are tired of rice and pasta and want a change give farro a try every once in a while. It tastes like a cross between rice and pasta. The shape of rice but with the substance of pasta.
COOKING TIPS: I would recommend chopping up the onions in this dish instead of just slicing them. I am not a fan of long stringy bits of onion in my meals.
RATING: 7.5. While I did enjoy the meal it was not one of my absolute favorites. This meal would not become one of my staple go to meals but that's just to do with personal taste.
