Ingredients:
1
tablespoon all-purpose flour
1
teaspoon ground cumin
1
teaspoon paprika
1/4
teaspoon powdered saffron or 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4
teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4
teaspoon ground ginger
1
pound well-trimmed pork tenderloin, cut into 3/4-inch medallions
1
tablespoon olive oil
1
medium onion, chopped
