Preparation

In a saucepan, sweat shallots and ginger in a little oil 2 to 3 minutes. Add white wine and reduce until completely evaporated. Add veal stock and reduce to about 3/4 cup (180 mL). Adjust seasoning.

Peel and separate lime in sections.

Wash spinach and remove stems. Cook until just wilted (about 1 minute) in a non-stick skillet (leaves must remain whole).

Remove fat and nerves from tenderloins. Slice into medallions (3 per person). Cook gently in a non-stick skillet. Medallions should be cooked through but still remain tender.

Place a slice of Canadian Gouda or Canadian Saint-Paulin cheese on each medallion and broil lightly.

Arrange spinach in the middle of each plate. Arrange medallions on spinach, garnish with lime sections and pour sauce around them.
