Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Pork tenderloin — To ensure tender and juicy pork medallions, make sure not to overcook them. Remove them from the skillet as soon as they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • Sweet paprika — Opt for high-quality sweet paprika to enhance the flavor of the dish.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra burst of flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice over the cooked pork medallions before serving.
  • If you prefer a spicier version, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
  • Serve the Morusa Delight with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.

Serving advice

Serve the Morusa Delight hot, with a generous portion of creamy mashed potatoes and a refreshing cucumber salad on the side. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, for an added touch of freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the pork medallions on a platter, drizzle them with a bit of olive oil, and sprinkle some paprika on top for an attractive presentation. Serve the creamy mashed potatoes in a separate bowl and the cucumber salad in a vibrant salad bowl to create an appealing contrast of colors.
