Prepare the Pork Medallions
Begin by gently pounding the pork medallions with a meat mallet, just enough to tenderize them without flattening them. Using a small, sharp knife (or kitchen scissors), make small slits along the edges of each medallion. This will help prevent the meat from curling up during cooking.

Dredge in Flour
Lightly coat the medallions with flour, ensuring each piece is evenly dusted. After flouring, shake off any excess to avoid clumping. -
Prepare the Aromatics and Olives
Slice the chili pepper into rings. Pit and chop the green olives coarsely, leaving some whole for added texture and flavor. Set the olives and chili aside. -
Cook the Pork
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the floured pork medallions to the pan. Sauté them on both sides until they develop a golden-brown crust, about 3-4 minutes per side. -
Add Wine and Olives
Once the medallions are browned, pour in the white wine, allowing it to deglaze the pan. Stir in the chopped olives, whole olives, and the chili pepper rings. Add rosemary, sage, and bay leaves for aromatic depth. -
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Let the medallions simmer in the wine sauce for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. -
Serve
Transfer the pork medallions to a serving platter, and spoon the olive sauce over the top. Garnish with additional sprigs of rosemary, sage, or bay leaves for a fresh, aromatic touch.
Serve this flavorful dish immediately, paired with a light salad or your favorite side dish to complete the meal.
