2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

CRISPY PORK CHOPS WITH BUTTERED RADISHES



Crispy Pork Chops With Buttered Radishes image

These crisp, panko-crusted cutlets are your weeknight answer to tonkatsu or Milanese with a simplified, one-step breading procedure, no eggs or flour required. Thin pork chops, either bone-in or boneless, are seasoned with salt and pepper, then simply pressed into panko bread crumbs before crisping up in a hot, oiled skillet. While any quick-cooking vegetable could be tossed in the brown butter and spooned over the chops, radishes are especially nice for the way they keep their bite even after a trip to the skillet. Whatever you do, don't forget the lemon.

Categories     dinner, for two, weekday, weeknight, meat, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bone-in or boneless pork chops (rib or loin), cut 1/2-inch thick (about 6 ounces each)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups panko or fresh coarse bread crumbs
3 tablespoons canola oil, plus more as needed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons capers
1 bunch radishes, with tops on if you like, cut into quarters
Flaky sea salt
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Season pork with salt and pepper. Place panko in a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish and season it with salt and pepper. Working one at a time, firmly press both sides of each pork chop into the seasoned panko until the chops are evenly and well coated.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet (10 to 12 inches) over medium-high heat; it should evenly coat the bottom of the skillet. If it doesn't, add a bit more oil. Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook until deeply golden brown, like the color of a well-baked croissant, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Using tongs or a spatula, flip pork and continue to cook until well browned on the other side, too, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate, platter or cutting board lined with paper towel and season with salt.
  • Wipe out skillet and return to the stove over medium-high heat. Add butter, letting it sizzle, brown and foam. Add capers and half of the radishes, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Toss a few times, just to wilt the radish greens, if they're still on, and to evenly coat the radishes with the brown butter and capers.
  • Divide pork chops among plates and nestle butter-tossed radishes and capers alongside, plus remaining raw radishes. Sprinkle with a bit of flaky salt and serve with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.

Provided by Weez

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Baked

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 pork chop cutlets
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups dry bread crumbs
¼ cup olive oil
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Season pork chops with garlic powder and seasoning salt. Dredge chops in flour; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Press into bread crumbs to coat both sides. Place the breaded chops, unstacked, onto a plate.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-heat. Cook pork chops in hot oil until breading appears well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a 9x13-inch baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops are cooked through, 60 to 90 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the pork chops before breading. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • For a crispy coating, make sure the pork chops are completely coated in the breadcrumb mixture before frying.
  • Use a shallow dish for frying the pork chops. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Fry the pork chops over medium-high heat until they are golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Crispy breaded pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your pork chops turn out perfect every time.
