In a skillet, cook the chiles until they are slightly browned (do not let them burn). Remove from heat and clean the chiles by removing their veins, seeds, and stems. Bring the chiles to a boil in 3 cups of water and cook for 20 minutes or until hydrated. Separate the chiles from the water and save the water for later use. In a blender, combine the chiles with 2 tablespoons of onion, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and all the spices. Add some of the chile water until you achieve a consistency of adobo (sauce). In a plastic bag, marinate the medallions with half of the adobo sauce in the refrigerator. You can marinate them for 40 minutes to 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. In a skillet, heat the olive oil. Sear the medallions for 4 minutes on each side. Place them in a baking dish and bake for 10 minutes. While the medallions are cooking, in a pot, sauté the remaining onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons of oil and add the remaining adobo. Add the chicken broth and cream if desired. Season. Serve the sauce over the pork medallions and enjoy.
