PORK CUTLETS WITH LEMON AND CAPERS



Pork Cutlets With Lemon and Capers image

Meat, breaded and fried, is a can't-lose dinner proposition from Milan to Texas and back. Here pork loin is pounded thin, dipped in flour and beaten egg, then coated in bread crumbs and shallow-fried until golden and crisp. A little messy to make? Yes, but less so than you'd think. Accompanied by a mixture of chopped parsley, lemon zest and capers and a sprinkling of chopped egg, it's an elegant weeknight splurge. But a wedge of lemon is all the garnish a well-fried cutlet really needs.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices center cut pork loin, 1/2-inch thick and about 4 ounces each
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs, divided 1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup roughly chopped parsley
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
2 eggs, hard-cooked for 8 minutes, cooled and peeled
Olive oil, for frying
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • With a meat mallet, pound pork slices to flatten slightly. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle a baking sheet or platter with bread crumbs. Dust pork slices with flour on both sides, then soak in beaten egg for 2 minutes. Using a fork or tongs, remove pork slices one at a time from egg mixture and place on top of crumbs. Sprinkle tops of slices with more bread crumbs, then turn over and sprinkle again so each slice is well coated. (They may be prepared up to this point an hour ahead and refrigerated, uncovered.)
  • Mix together parsley, lemon zest and capers in a small bowl. Chop hard-cooked egg and set aside.
  • Pour olive oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large cast-iron skillet (or use two pans to avoid crowding). Turn heat to medium high. When oil looks wavy, carefully place cutlets in pan and fry for 2 minutes, until golden. (Reduce heat if necessary.) Turn and cook for 2 minutes on other side, then remove and drain on paper towel. Season fried cutlets lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange cutlets on a warm platter. Sprinkle with parsley mixture, then with chopped egg. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Pork Chops with Fennel and Caper Sauce image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
4 boneless (2-inch-thick) pork chops (about 2 pounds total)
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning meat
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning meat
2 fennel bulbs with fronds, thinly sliced (about 8 ounces or 2 cups)
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus 1/3 cup
1/2 cup white wine
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with their juices
1/2 lemon, zested
2 tablespoons capers

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy skillet heat the olive oil over high heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add the pork to the pan and brown on both sides, about 4 minutes each side. Remove the pork from the pan, cover loosely with foil, and set aside.
  • Add the fennel, shallots, and 1/3 cup parsley to the pan and cook over medium heat until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the wine. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the tomatoes and stir. Add the pork back into the pan, nestling the chops between the fennel and tomatoes so they are mostly submerged in the pan juices. Cook until the fennel is tender and the pork is done, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Place the pork on a serving dish. To finish the sauce, add the lemon zest, remaining 1/3 cup parsley, capers, and 3/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Spoon over the pork chops and serve immediately.

PORK CHOPS IN LEMON-CAPER SAUCE



Pork Chops in Lemon-Caper Sauce image

Here's my favorite recipe in Toni Tipton-Martin's excellent and invaluable "Jubilee: Recipes From Two Centuries of African American Cooking" (2019). It's a remix of one that the chef Nathaniel Burton collected into his 1978 opus, "Creole Feast: Fifteen Master Chefs of New Orleans Reveal Their Secrets," and one that Tipton-Martin glossed-up with lemon zest, juice and extra butter, a technique she learned from the restaurateur B. Smith's 2009 collection of recipes, "B. Smith Cooks Southern-Style." It's a dish of smothered pork chops, essentially, made into something glorious and elegant. "The food history of Blacks in America has been a story of the food of survival," she told me in an interview. "We need to start celebrating the food they made at work."

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 bone-in pork chops (about 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 very small shallot, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium, if store-bought
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons juice
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Dry the chops with paper towels, and season aggressively with salt, pepper and the thyme. Swirl the olive oil into a large skillet, and heat over medium until the oil begins to shimmer. Add chops, and cook until well browned on each side and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate, and cover to keep warm.
  • Drain the fat from the skillet, then melt 2 tablespoons of butter in it over medium heat until sizzling. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté until the aromatics soften, reducing the heat if necessary, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the wine and chicken stock, raise heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the capers, parsley, lemon zest and juice and hot sauce to taste (if you're using it), and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until it's melted and the sauce looks smooth. Nestle the pork chops into the sauce, and allow them to warm up for a couple of minutes, then serve, pouring sauce over each pork chop to taste. Garnish with more fresh parsley.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use thin-cut pork cutlets that are about 1/2-inch thick. If your cutlets are thicker, you may need to pound them out until they are the desired thickness.
  • To make the caper sauce, use good-quality capers. Look for capers that are plump and green, and avoid any that are brown or shriveled.
  • If you don't have dry white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water. However, the white wine will add a more complex flavor to the sauce.
  • To make sure the pork cutlets are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the pork cutlets immediately with the caper sauce. You can also garnish the dish with chopped fresh parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Pork cutlets with caper sauce is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of tender pork, tangy capers, and rich sauce is sure to satisfy everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
