Excellent and very quick and easy to make. A very mild Indian style feel. The tomatoes added a tasty sauce for the tender pork medallions. Will make again.

Directions
In a large skillet heat the oil.
Add the medallions and sauté them over high heat for 2 minutes a side to brown them.
Lower the heat and continue to cook slowly for about 5 minutes or until just cooked through.
Don't overcook or they will toughen. When done, remove the medallions to a serving plate.
To the remaining oil add the cumin, turmeric and tomatoes and stir for a few seconds just to heat the tomatoes; season to taste with salt and crushed red pepper and spoon over the medallions.
