How to Make Pork Medallions In Caribbean Nut Sauce
- Combine garlic, ginger, cumin, curry paste, and red pepper flakes in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
- Add peanuts and 1 tablespoon of hot water. Pulse until a coarse paste forms, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Place pork medallions between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or heavy skillet, pound each medallion to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Lightly coat pork with cooking spray.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork medallions and sauté for 2 minutes per side, or until browned.
- Remove pork from skillet and set aside in a shallow bowl.
- Add soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Pour soy sauce mixture over the reserved pork.
- Add sliced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of the peanut mixture and cook for 4 minutes.
- Add remaining 1/4 cup water and coconut milk. Season with salt and pepper.
- Return the pork to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Combine the remaining peanut mixture with cooked rice.
- Serve pork medallions and sauce over rice. Garnish as desired (optional).
