Method
- Bring about four times the polenta's weight of water to the boil in a small pan, salt it, pour in the polenta in a thin stream while whisking and cook over low heat, stirring often, for 10 minutes if it is quick-cook, until soft and pulling away from the sides.
- Meanwhile cut the tenderloin into medallions about 2 cm thick, chop the shallot and cut the prunes into small pieces.
- Heat half the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat with the sage and brown the medallions for 2 minutes per side, until golden; season with salt and pepper.
- Add the shallot, prunes and stock and cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the meat is cooked but still pink in the centre.
- Wash the spinach and sauté it in another pan with the remaining oil over high heat for 2 minutes, until wilted; season with salt.
- Serve the medallions with their sauce, the polenta and the spinach.
