Preparation

In a frying pan, sauté medaillons in olive oil and butter 3 to 4 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Season, remove from pan and set aside.

Drain off excess fat, add chopped shallots, white wine and port. Reduce a little, then blend in Canadian Borgonzola and fresh basil. Add prunes and medaillons, then simmer to finish cooking (be careful not to overcook).
