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.

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.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

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.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED PORK LOIN CUTLETS



Parmesan-Crusted Pork Loin Cutlets image

Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12-ounce) pork loin
3 slices white bread or crusts from 8 slices
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup flour
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter
4 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Cut the pork loin into 4 equally-portioned pork chops. Place each chop between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until the chop is about 1-inch thick.
  • Place the bread in a food processor and pulse into large breadcrumbs. Add the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, and pulse a few more times. Transfer the crumb mixture to a shallow bowl.
  • Prepare a breading station: In a shallow bowl or plate, place the flour along with salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water, until the egg is no longer stringy, about 1 minute. Line up the flour, egg, and breadcrumbs in that order.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat, and add the vegetable oil and butter. Dip the pork chops in the flour to dust lightly, shake off the excess flour, then dip in the egg and finally the crumbs. Cook the pork until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Once cooked, remove to a paper towel-lined plate to blot the excess oil. Season the cutlets with salt, and pepper and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork loin cutlets are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The cutlets should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well done.
  • To make the lemon-thyme sauce, use fresh lemon juice and thyme for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme.
  • Serve the pork loin cutlets with the lemon-thyme sauce immediately. The sauce can also be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
  • For a more flavorful sauce, add a tablespoon of white wine or chicken broth to the pan when cooking the shallots.
  • If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half-and-half instead.

Conclusion:

Pork loin cutlets with lemon-thyme sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the sauce is light and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
