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 CUTLETS WITH LEMON AND CAPERS
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.

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.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold all of the cutlets in one layer. When the oil is very hot add the meat and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until browned. Turn the slices and cook about 5 minutes more. Reduce the heat and cook about 2 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Transfer the meat to a warm serving dish. Cover with foil and keep warm.
- Pour off the fat from the skillet, then add the onion, garlic and capers. Cook, stirring until the onion is lightly browned. Add the vinegar, mustard, chicken broth and tomato paste. Stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Add any juices that may have accumulated around the cutlets. Add the butter, if desired. Blend well.
- Add the cutlets to the skillet, bring to a simmer and serve immediately sprinkled with parsley.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork cutlets are cooked evenly, pound them to an even thickness before cooking.
- Dredge the pork cutlets in flour before searing. This will help them to brown nicely and create a crispy crust.
- Use a combination of butter and olive oil to sear the pork cutlets. This will prevent the butter from burning and add flavor to the pork.
- Cook the pork cutlets over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without overcooking.
- Baste the pork cutlets with the butter-oil mixture while they are cooking. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Add the capers and lemon juice to the pan towards the end of cooking. This will help to brighten the flavors of the dish.
- Serve the pork cutlets immediately with your favorite sides.
