Christmas Leftovers With Wine Reduction

Posted on December 29, 2020 by Marian Allen

This happens to be pork loin medallions, but the sauce would work with chicken or beef or, I suppose, noodles or tofu.

I melted some butter in a saucepan and added some red wine, a sprig of rosemary, and some veggie stock, then cooked it down to next to nothing. Toward the end, I put the leftover already-cooked medallions into the sauce and warmed them up.

The potatoes were leftovers, too. I had cut little potatoes in half, tossed them in olive oil and seasoned salt, and roasted them at 450F for about 20 minutes.

Excellent Christmas Day lunch!

That does look good. I think that sauce would work with other stuff, but let’s not get carried away…tofu?

  I LOVE tofu! Our vegan daughter loathes it, funnily enough.

  Indeed not! But vegan margarine and beef? Or carrots and asparagus?

Leftovers are my all time favourite foods. Apart from tasting better the next day, I love reconfiguring ingredients into something new. Your pork medallions in red wine sauce sound divine.
