Pork loin medallions with port wine in a vizcaina sauce


Explanation:
Al horno is "in the oven" -- so maybe baked, but baked pork loin doesn't sound that great. So I'm skipping it.

I would leave vizcaina in Spanish, and italicize it. A vizcaina sauce is tomato based sauce with pepper and garlic. Very yummy.

Perhaps "with port wine" could be "with port wine reduction" (a syrupy liquid made by boiling down port), but without seeing it, it's hard to know.

Good luck, hope that helps!

neutral  jfrb: Sorry Sandra, but isn't loin "lomo" ? Manitas are pig's trotters (or feet). I don't want to disagree, because you got most of it right.

(Roasted/Oven-baked) Medallions of pig's trotters with vizcaina sauce and port wine gravy


Explanation:
manitas are pig's trotters.
Perhaps roasted sounds better than oven-baked, but you should probably use one of them to distinguish from other means of cooking trotters.
Cheffy types nowadays use the French term "jus" instead of the good old-fashioned "gravy". So if you want to be trendy, you could write "jus of port wine" or even put it all in French!
I agree that vizcaina should not be translated. (It means from Biscay - the bay in the Basque Country around San Sebastian.)

Some example of each part:-

This is the most relevant one, and says Boneless Pig´s trotter
cooked in Vizcaina sauce. This obviously depends on the way they cook them, but you might think about writing "in" rather than "with" the sauce if you know that's how it's prepared. Otherwise, play safe, and just put "with".
Good luck!
