**Pork Chops: A Culinary Journey Through Italy**

Pork chops, a versatile and delectable cut of meat, take center stage in this culinary adventure, where we explore the vibrant flavors of Italy. From the crispy and aromatic **Breaded Italian Boneless Chops**, bursting with garlic, oregano, and Parmesan cheese, to the tender and succulent **Tuscan Pork Chops**, infused with sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and a balsamic glaze, each recipe promises a unique taste experience.

**Breaded Italian Boneless Chops:** These chops are coated in a flavorful breadcrumb mixture, creating a golden-brown crust that complements the juicy pork interior. The addition of Parmesan cheese adds a savory umami note, while garlic and oregano provide a delightful aromatic touch.

**Tuscan Pork Chops:** Inspired by the rustic charm of Tuscany, these chops are marinated in a delectable blend of olive oil, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh herbs. Pan-seared to perfection, they are then topped with a tantalizing balsamic glaze, creating a harmonious balance of sweet and tangy flavors.

**Pork Chops with Salsa Verde:** This recipe combines the richness of pork chops with the vibrant freshness of salsa verde, a zesty sauce made from parsley, capers, and anchovies. Pan-fried until golden brown, the chops are complemented by the bright and herbaceous flavors of the salsa verde.

**Pork Chops with Apples and Onions:** This classic combination of pork, apples, and onions is elevated with a hint of cinnamon and a touch of brown sugar. Braised until tender, the chops absorb the sweet and savory flavors of the apples and onions, resulting in a comforting and hearty dish.

2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 pork chop cutlets
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt

aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

PORK ESSENTIALS: BREADED ITALIAN BONELESS CHOPS



Pork Essentials: Breaded Italian Boneless Chops image

I came up with this recipe while trying different breading options. I tried using panko, but did not like the crunch. Then I tried some regular bread crumbs, but found them a bit too bland. Italian bread crumbs were my final, and best choice. I then worked on the binding ingredient, and my first thought was eggs... I settled on...

Provided by Andy Anderson !

Categories     Pork

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

PLAN/PURCHASE
2 large boneless pork chops
3/4 c italian bread crumbs, not panko
1/4 c parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 Tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground dill
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or to taste
1 large lemon, juice and zest

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 3. Add the Italian bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, oregano, ground dill, pepper, and lemon zest to a small breading dish or plate, and thoroughly combine.
  • 4. Chef's Note: The reason I am not including any salt in the dry ingredients is that I brine my chops. If you choose not to brine, you might want to add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the dry ingredients.
  • 5. Chef's Note: If you cannot find Italian bread crumbs, just get some regular bread crumbs (not panko), and toss in some dry Italian seasonings.
  • 6. Add the lemon juice to another plate.
  • 7. Rinse off the pork chops and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • 8. Chef's Tip: If you want some really juicy pork chops, then I recommend you brine them before cooking. If you have never brined pork, here is a very good recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/andys-cooking-class-the-best-pork-brine.html?r=1
  • 9. Dip the chop into the lemon juice.
  • 10. Thoroughly coat with the bread crumb mixture.
  • 11. Chef's Tip: Pack as much of that bread-crumb coating on as possible.
  • 12. Carefully place them onto a rimmed baking sheet fitting with a wire rack.
  • 13. Allow them to sit for thirty minutes, or you could make these ahead of time, and let them sit in the fridge for several hours.
  • 14. While the chops are resting, place a rack in the upper-middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
  • 15. Add the chops to the preheated oven, and bake until golden brown, and crispy, about 35 - 40 minutes.
  • 16. Chef's Note: Let the chops rest for 5 minutes, before serving.
  • 17. Chef's Tip: Depending on your oven, the cooking time might take a bit less or more time. Keep an eye on them, and do not let the crust burn.
  • 18. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 19. Serve while nice and warm with your favorite sides. I choose sautéed spinach & goat cheese, paired with a yummy mango/cherry chutney. Enjoy.
  • 20. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

PAN-FRIED BREADED PORK CHOPS



Pan-Fried Breaded Pork Chops image

Look for beautiful good-quality pork, such as Berkshire, and ask for center-cut loin chops with bone. For the bread crumbs, use day-old firm white sandwich bread or French loaf, cubed and whirled in a food processor, for about three cups of soft, fluffy crumbs. Dry, fine store-bought crumbs will not yield the same result. Make sure to fry these chops very gently over medium-high heat, to allow the bread-crumb coating to brown slowly, creating a crisp, golden crust. Serve with a tart salad or braised greens, such as broccoli rabe.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     meat, steaks and chops, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (8-ounce) center-cut pork chops, about 1/2-inch thick
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
Small pinch of cayenne powder
All-purpose flour, for sprinkling
3 cups fresh bread crumbs (from 8 slices crustless day-old sandwich bread)
1 cup clarified butter, extra-virgin olive oil or lard, plus more as needed
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Lay pork chops on a baking sheet, and season well on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Combine eggs and milk in a low, flat bowl. Season with salt, pepper and the small pinch of cayenne.
  • Sprinkle flour generously over the chops on both sides, then shake off excess.
  • Submerge the floured chops in the egg mixture, and turn them over several times to coat well. Leave chops in egg mixture for 5 minutes.
  • Use your left hand to remove a chop from the batter and drain off excess liquid. Place chop on a baking sheet and, with your right hand, heavily sprinkle with bread crumbs on both sides. Repeat with remaining chops.
  • Sprinkle each chop again with crumbs, patting with your hand to make sure crumbs adhere and coat well. Refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to fry.
  • Set a wide cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add clarified butter to a depth of 1/2 inch. When butter is hot, lay in the chops without crowding, and let them fry very gently, about 4 to 5 minutes per side, until beautifully golden brown. (Turn down heat if they seem to be browning too fast.) If your pan is small, cook in 2 batches and keep finished chops warm in a 250-degree oven.
  • Blot cooked chops on paper towels. Transfer to a warm platter or individual plates. Serve with lemon wedges.

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.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use boneless pork chops that are about 1-inch thick.
  • To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, flatten them to an even thickness before breading and cooking.
  • To create a crispy breading, use a combination of panko breadcrumbs and Italian-seasoned bread crumbs.
  • For added flavor, season the bread crumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano.
  • To prevent the breading from falling off, dip the pork chops in beaten eggs before coating them in the bread crumbs.
  • Shallow fry the pork chops in a large skillet with hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • To save time, you can also bake the pork chops in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.

Conclusion:

These breaded Italian boneless pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The pork chops are tender and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, and the Italian-seasoned bread crumbs add a flavorful touch. Whether you are serving them for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, these pork chops are sure to be a hit.
