Directions
For polenta:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the polenta in a steady stream, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the Gorgonzola and continue to cook until cheese melts. Adjust seasonings to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
For pork:
In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup chicken broth and mustard.
While polenta is cooking, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add oil and butter. Season medallions with salt and pepper. When butter has melted, add pork medallions and brown on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove to a plate, cover with foil to keep warm.
Reduce heat to medium and add chicken broth mixture to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits. Add cream and stir to blend.
For spinach:
While pork is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and saute until soft. Add undried spinach to pan and toss and stir until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To serve:
Spoon a mound of polenta on individual plates, top with a spoonful of spinach and lean a pork medallion against the spinach. Top with a spoonful of mustard sauce and serve. |
