METHOD
-
season the meat
Add the pork medallions to a bowl. Season with olive oil, freshly ground pepper, fennel seeds, and salt. Stir to combine, and set aside for 20 minutes or overnight (covered) in the fridge.
-
pan-fry the meat
Place the Tefal Unlimited pan over medium heat. Add the pork medallions and pan-fry them on both sides, approximately 2 - 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the pan and make the sauce.
-
sauce
Peel the onion and cut it into larger pieces. Peel the apples and cut them into thin wedges. Add the thinly sliced garlic to the pan, stir, and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Add the butter and cook for 2 - 3 minutes. Stir in the honey, thyme, sage, dijon mustard and white wine. Cook for 6 - 8 minutes for the alcohol to evaporate and the onions to soften. Arrange the pan-fried meat on top and pour over the cooking juices. Cook for 2 minutes, then serve with your favorite side dish.

kale (optional)
Pour water into a saucepan and place over medium heat. Season with salt and add the kale. Cook for 30 seconds, then drain and put on a serving plate. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Serve with the meat.
