Almond Pork

Tender pork medallions are seasoned with tarragon and garlic, seared until golden, and cloaked in a white wine–Dijon pan sauce enriched with cream. Toasted slivered almonds and fresh green onions add nutty crunch and brightness, giving the dish a French bistro feel. Almond Pork is ideal for a cozy weeknight dinner or an elegant date-night main.

Almond Pork
  1. 1

    Using a meat mallet, pound the tenderloin slices to 1/4-inch thick. Mix the tarragon and garlic powder in a small bowl, then sprinkle the mixture over the cutlets. Rub the seasoning into the meat, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour to let the flavors blend.

  2. 2

    Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides. Brown half of the tenderloin pieces in the butter for 3 to 4 minutes per side without crowding the pan. Repeat with the remaining pork pieces and 1 more tablespoon of butter. Place the pork pieces on a warm platter and set aside.

  3. 3

    Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet over medium heat; stir in the flour until smooth and starting to fry. Gradually whisk in the wine, stirring constantly until combined; stir in the chicken bouillon granules and Dijon mustard. Let the sauce boil for 1 minute; whisk in the cream. Bring it almost to a boil, then stir in the almonds and green onions. Pour the sauce over the pork and serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
