PORK MEDALLIONS WITH FIG & PORT WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place figs in a small microwavable bowl and cover with port. Cover the bowl and microwave on High for 3 minutes.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add broth, thyme, bay leaf and the fig-port mixture. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Sprinkle both sides of pork medallions with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper and dredge lightly with flour, shaking off the excess.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the medallions and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add the reserved fig-port sauce; bring to a simmer and cook until the pork is cooked, but still a little pink in the center, about 2 minutes. The sauce should be syrupy. If not, remove the medallions with a slotted spoon to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Boil the sauce until its reduced and syrupy. Discard the bay leaf. Serve the sauce over the medallions.

CARRABBA'S MARSALA SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushroom and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the prosciutto and onion and cook, stirring often, until the onion softens, about 2 minutes more. Sprinkle with flour and stir well. Stir in the marsala and broth and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring often, until reduced to about 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly, then pour over desired dishes or into a bowl.
• Sauce can be kept at room temperature for up to two hours.
