Cooking Directions
Slice tenderloin in to 1-inch thick pieces. Place pieces between wax paper and pound gently to flatten into 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Reserve. Place dried cranberries in a small dish and cover with hot water.
In a medium saucepan heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger and sauté 30 seconds. Add enough water to orange juice to measure 1 ½ cups. Add liquid to pan and bring to a boil. Stir in rice and salt. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork medallions 2 minutes on each side. When rice is ready, drain water from dried cranberries and fold into rice along with 1 teaspoon orange zest.
Serve with pork.
