Pork Tenderloin in a Prune-Marsala Sauce

Serves 4 to 6
This is a simple supper that can easily be prepared ahead. Make the sauce and sauté the pork, keeping them separate until just before serving. Combine and heat for a few minutes.

Ingredients
Prune-Marsala Sauce
1 Tbsp. (15 mL) unsalted butter or vegetable oil
1 cup (240 mL) finely chopped shallots (approximately 4 to 6 shallots)
½ cup (120 mL) chicken stock
20 prunes, sliced in half
generous ½ tsp. (2.5 mL) fresh thyme leaves
5 Tbsp. (75 mL) Marsala
Pork Tenderloin
2 pork tenderloins, approximately 1 lb. (455 g) each, cut into ½-inch (1.2-cm) thick medallions
salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste
2 Tbsp. (30 mL) vegetable oil or butter
1 cup (240 mL) chicken stock
1 Tbsp. (15 mL) unsalted butter



Instructions
For the Prune-Marsala Sauce
Melt the butter or oil in a medium-sized frying pan. Add the shallots and sauté over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ½ cup (120 mL) of stock and simmer until the liquid has almost disappeared, about another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the prunes, thyme, and Marsala and simmer until the Marsala is syrupy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
For the Pork Tenderloin
Season the pork medallions with salt and pepper. Heat the oil or butter in a frying pan until shimmering. Add the pork and sauté on each side for about 2 minutes. Lower the heat if the meat starts to burn. Remove the pork and place in a bowl. Deglaze the pan with 1 cup (240 mL) of chicken stock and simmer until it is reduced by half.
Pour the reduced stock and pork juices into the Prune-Marsala Sauce and heat. Then mix in the 1 Tbsp. (15 mL) of butter. Finally, add the pork medallions and heat through.
Overlap the medallions on the bread or on a serving dish and spoon the prune sauce overtop.
