1 teaspoon salt, plus extra, to taste, divided

1 teaspoon pepper, plus extra, to taste, divided

2 crisp apples, divided

3 sprigs rosemary

½ cup shredded carrots

1 cup shredded green cabbage

4 tablespoons honey

1 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon mustard

1 tablespoon white vinegar

12 soft taco shells

2 tablespoons sour cream

Directions

Cut pork crosswise into 1-inch medallions. Coat pork medallions with olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper, then add to a saucepan over medium heat.
