Susan Runkle - Walton, Kentucky
Bake-Off® Contest 40, 2002 Prize Winner
Susan Runkle created her saucy pork medallions "because of my love of pork, which lends itself so well to a range of taste combinations, particularly fruit and spices. "




   PORK
   1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
   1 teaspoon salt
   1/2 teaspoon pepper
   2 tablespoons butter
   1 teaspoon minced ginger root
   1 teaspoon minced garlic
   1 tablespoon cornstarch
   1 cup apple juice
   1/4 cup water
   2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
   2 (4 1/2-ounce) cans sliced mushrooms, undrained
   
   COUSCOUS
   2 cups water
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1 1/4 cups uncooked couscous
   1 cup frozen gold and white super sweet corn (from 1-lb. pkg.)
   1/2 medium red bell pepper, chopped
   3 green onions, chopped
   1/2 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder


To flatten each pork slice, place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Working from center, gently pound pork with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick; remove wrap. Sprinkle pork with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper.

Melt butter in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 8 minutes or until browned on both sides, turning once. Remove pork from skillet. Add gingerroot and garlic to skillet; cook and stir 1 minute or until tender. Remove from heat.

In medium bowl, combine cornstarch, apple juice, 1/4 cup water and vinegar; blend well. Add to mixture in skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add mushrooms with liquid and pork; cook 10 minutes or until sauce is of desired consistency, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, combine 2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Stir in couscous, corn, bell pepper, onions and five-spice powder; mix well. Remove from heat. Cover; let stand 5 minutes. Serve couscous with pork mixture.
