Finish by adding cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, peas, marjoram and basil. Set aside for later. Rice: Melt butter and saute rice until well coated. Deglaze with the wine and cook until the wine is totally absorbed by the rice. Add the chicken stock, salt and saffron. Cook over low heat until the rice is all dente. Set aside. Meats and Fish: Dust the pork medallions and chicken breast pieces lightly with seasoned flour. Saute in olive oil until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
