The parmesan coating tasted wonderful! We added more mushrooms just because we like them so much. Don't worry if you don't have port wine on hand, additional beef broth works just as well. This is a nice dish for company or just regular family dinner.
This was delicious... AFTER we realized that fresh grated parmesan wasn't sticking or working at all. When we went to the can of grated parmesan, it stuck and it was super yummy, even my six year old loved it!! Would recommend putting the pre-grated parmesan in the recipe (the kind in a the green can!).
We liked the onion-mushroom mixture with the sauce, but found the meat to not have a lot of flavor. We thought the pork needed something more than just the parmesan cheese to coat it with. Simply adding salt and other pork-friendly herbs might have done the trick.
Just made step by step. So so very good. Even my picky husband said it was very good. Hats off for a keeper recipe. Thank you!
Delicious, husband loved it. However next time need to coat the pork medallions with egg to get the parmesan to stick to the meat. As others said, need to double the sauce, at least. Jan E.
Easy and delicious. Definitely a keeper recipe. I used a little extra herbs and turned out great
Delicious. Next time I will double the sauce. I see Vegetable Stock as I thought the beef stock would, at least to some extent, overpower the pork flavor.
WOW! Absolutely delicious. Followed recipe exactly except I used fresh herbs from my herb garden. Quick and easy meal that seems like a gourmet dish! I served it over cooked farro to soak up the yummy sauce. But you could use mashed potatoes, rice or buttered noodles if you'd like.
I really enjoyed the herbal blend added to the broth. I used fresh instead of dried. The pork was moist and the sauce was very good.
One of the best new recipes I've tried in a while. No leftovers since it was that good. Definitely going to double that yummy sauce like others said next time. Very unique, very easy, very quick, and very tasty. Felt like we were eating at a fancy restaurant!
