So we get pork loin in bulk at costco – slice 'em in half and they're yummy shake&baked (homemade, thank you), marinated, whatever. Tonight, I decided to try something new, so I virtually thumbed through some of the recipes I've added to my memories – here's the result:
Pork medallions in a garlic cream reduction
pork loin, sliced into half-inch thick medallions
Olive oil
1 head garlic, divided into cloves, peeled and sliced thinly
1/2 cup marsala
1/2 cup cream (I substituted fat-free evaporated milk)
Saute the pork medallions in a little oil until done but still tender; place on a heat-proof plate and put in a low oven to keep warm.
Add the garlic to the pan and saute until lightly toasted.
Add wine, and simmer until reduced by half.
Add cream; simmer until thickened.
Pour sauce over pork medallions and serve.
I served this with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. I've also mastered (more or less) the art of peeling garlic without having to cuss too much. Hmm. Think I should try to find another 40 clove garlic chicken recipe…

Damn, making me hungry again.
Then again I do have a CostCo card.
Looks yummy!
If I have piles and piles of garlic to peel, what I do is I take a clove in between the thumb and first three fingers of both hands and twist in opposite directions, like I’m giving it a Chinese burn. The paper should come straight off, after that.
