Yes, you can substitute prunes with dried apricots or dried figs for a similar sweet and chewy texture.
Prosciutto is a good alternative to bacon. You can also use strips of pancetta or simply skip the wrapping altogether and season the medallions well.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Yes, you can freeze the cooked medallions. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them individually or in a single layer in freezer-safe wrap before placing them in a freezer bag or container. The mushroom sauce should be frozen separately. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
For a vegetarian version, substitute the pork tenderloin with thick slices of portobello mushrooms or firm tofu. Omit the bacon. Marinate the mushrooms or tofu before cooking and follow the remaining steps of the recipe.
Broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus or green beans would also be a great choice for garnishing the medallions
Thaw the medallions and sauce in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat the medallions in a pan over medium heat until warmed through. Reheat the sauce separately in a saucepan. Avoid overcooking to prevent the meat from drying out.
