Cooking the sliced pork in two batches adds a few minutes to the time that you'll need to make this dish, but the beautifully browned and flavourful meat is well worth the extra effort. You can also cook all of the vegetables in the same skillet for minimum cleanup and maximum convenience. The zucchini, yellow squash, and red onion, which are spiced with a touch of curry powder, ground coriander, and ground cumin, perfectly complement the juicy pork medallions and make for a pretty presentation. It's a healthy, satisfying, low-maintenance meal that you'll find yourself making over and over again tor an easy weeknight dinner.
