Ingredients:

Instructions:

   • Whisk in the Madeira or sherry and let it boil for 2 minutes.
   • Gradually stir in the chicken stock until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
   • Add the thyme sprigs and mustard, and season to taste.
4. Finalize the Dish:
   • Return the pork medallions to the pan and simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
   • Stir in the double cream and bring the mixture back to a simmer.
5. Serve:
   • Plate the pork medallions and generously spoon the sauce over them.
   • Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and wilted greens.
