PORK-CUTLET PARMESAN



Pork-Cutlet Parmesan image

You've enjoyed it with veal; you've loved it with chicken. It's time to meet... pork parm. The base is tenderloin, sliced into medallions and pounded thin so it cooks in a flash. A triple-dip into flour, then egg, then panko, makes a coating that stays crisp even after it cools. Top with a spoonful or two of tomato sauce and mozzarella and broil until the cheese melts.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 small pork tenderloins (about 1 3/4 pounds total), each cut crosswise into 4 pieces, room temperature
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons dried oregano
Extra-virgin olive oil, for frying
1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated (1/4 cup), plus more for serving
1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Tomato Sauce, plus more, warmed, for serving
4 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, shredded (1 cup)
Fresh basil leaves, sliced if large, for serving

Steps:

  • Pound pork with the flat side of a meat mallet into 1/4-inch-thick cutlets. Pat dry with paper towels; lightly season with salt and pepper. Place flour in a pie dish or a wide, shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs in a second dish. Toss breadcrumbs and oregano in a third dish; season with salt and pepper.
  • Working one at a time, dredge cutlets in flour, shaking off excess, then eggs, allowing excess to drip back into dish. Press into breadcrumb mixture, flipping to fully and evenly coat. Transfer to a wire rack; let stand 10 minutes.
  • Heat a scant 1/2 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. When it shimmers and a breadcrumb dropped in immediately rises to surface and sizzles, carefully add a few cutlets in a single layer (do not crowd skillet). Fry, flipping once, until golden brown all over and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total.
  • Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Let stand until drained and crisp, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, repeat with remaining cutlets.
  • Preheat broiler with a rack about 8 inches from heat element. Top cutlets evenly with Parmigiano, then tomato sauce and mozzarella. Broil just until cheese melts, 2 to 4 minutes. Top with basil and serve warm, with more tomato sauce and Parmigiano alongside.

PORK CUTLETS PARMIGIANA



Pork Cutlets Parmigiana image

This Italian-American comfort food recipe came to The Times in 1993 in one of Pierre Franey's beloved "60-Minute Gourmet" columns. His version of the classic casserole calls for slices of pork loin, a "lean, moist and versatile" option, Mr. Franey said, which are pounded thin then breaded and pan-fried until golden. A simple tomato sauce of canned crushed tomatoes, onions, garlic and oregano comes together in about five minutes, which is layered in a baking dish with the cutlets and topped with a blanket of mozzarella. The whole dish is showered with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and baked until bubbly. Mr. Franey suggested serving it with spaghetti, which seems like a great idea to us, but we might add a tangle of sautéed broccoli rabe to cut through the richness.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 thin slices lean boneless loin of pork, about 2 ounces each
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, or 1 teaspoon dried
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups fine fresh bread crumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
2 cups canned crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, or 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 thin slices of mozzarella cheese, sliced in half
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Pound each slice of pork on a flat surface with a meat pounder or a mallet to about 1/4-inch thick. (Properly pounded slices will look like veal scallopini.)
  • Place the egg, water, cumin, rosemary and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl, and beat well. Place the bread crumbs on a flat dish.
  • Dip the pork slices in the egg mixture to coat and then dip in the bread crumbs. Pat lightly with the flat side of a kitchen knife to help the crumbs to adhere.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan and add the garlic and onions. Cook, stirring for one minute; do not brown. Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and place as many cutlets as possible in one layer. When the slices are golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes, cook on the other side for 3 minutes. As the pieces are done, transfer them to a heated platter. Add more oil, if necessary, to the skillet, and continue cooking the rest of the slices in the same manner.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a baking dish large enough to hold the cutlets in one layer, spoon a little sauce over the bottom, add the cutlets, spoon more tomato sauce on top and cover each cutlet with mozzarella cheese. Add the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the dish and bake until piping hot and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
