Pork Medallions and Mushrooms


Pork Medallions and Mushrooms

1 lb pork tenderloin cut into 1 inch slices (I could only find the 2 lb packages so I cut 4 1-inch slices from one end and put the other lb or so into the freezer for a freezer meal).
1 lb fresh mushrooms. sliced ( I spent the little extra to purchase the sliced fresh mushrooms :-)
2 tbsp grapeseed or olive oil (divided)
3/4 cup Wildtree Piccata Sauce (divided)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tbsp Dijon mustard

Preheat oven to 425 F.
Place 1 Tbsp oil in 9 x 13 baking dish.  Toss sliced mushrooms with 1/4 cup Piccata Sauce and the garlic. Bake for 30 minutes.
While mushrooms are baking, put remaining 1 tbsp oil in a skillet.  Add pork and brown on each side.
Mix together remaining 1/2 cup Piccata Sauce and mustard in a bowl.
When mushrooms have finished, place pork slices on top of mushrooms and top with the Piccata Sauce mixture.  Turn over down to 350.  Place baking dish back in oven and bake for 10 minutes or until pork is 145 F.

Cheese Twists

Cheese Twists - WW 1 pt each

1 can pizza crust (Pillsbury - I used the thin pizza crust)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
Spray oil

Preheat oven to 425 F.
Mix the cheese and spices together in a bowl.
Spread the pizza dough out into a 12 x 8 inch rectangle.
Lightly spray the dough with the oil.  Sprinkle about 2/3 of the cheese mixture over the dough.
Fold in half to make a 6 x 8 inch rectangle.
Spray with oil and sprinkle on the remaining cheese mixture.  Press down slightly.
Cut into 16 strips - each 8 inches long.  If you cut into half, cut those halves in half, cut those 4 pieces into half. Then cut those 8 into half - and finally cut those 8 into half - you will get 16 pretty equal pieces.
Lightly spray a baking sheet with oil.  Take a strip one at a time and holding the ends twist several times.  Place on the baking sheet.  Repeat until all 16 are twisted.
Bake for 8 minutes.
(The original recipe is here .  It says to place them 1/2 inch apart but mine were more like 1/4 inch apart and some did touch but that was fine.)
