Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 200 D/F. Cut the tenderloins crosswide into 1/2 inch slices. Place slices between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound the pork gently until it is about 1/4 inch thick. On a plate, combine flour, salt and pepper to taste. Coat the pork with seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Continue until all pieces are coated.
- 2. In a large 10-12 inch saute pan over medium high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Working in batches, add the pork to the pan in a single layer and saute turning once, until golden brown, 1 1/2 - 2 minutes on each side. As you add pieces to the saute pan, add the remaining olive oil if needed. Transfer to an oven proof platter and keep warm in 200 degree oven.
- 3. Reduce the heat to low, add the garlic and rosemary and saute, stirring, for 30-60 seconds. Raise the heat to high add the wine (or extra chicken stock) and deglaze the pan to dislodge any browned bits on the pan bottom. Boil until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and again boil until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the capers, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Remove pork medallions from oven and pour sauce over it and garnish with the lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
- 4. I serve this dish with potatoes that have been roasted with a little fresh lemon juice, olive oil and fresh rosemary. I like to use the small new potatoes as they will only take a short while to roast. Serve with a salad if you like and good, crusty bread. Enjoy!

PORK CHOPS IN LEMON-CAPER SAUCE
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."

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
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:
- Make sauce:
- Stir together all sauce ingredients in a bowl until combined, then chill, covered, until ready to use.
- Cook pork:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut pork crosswise into 1 1/4-inch-thick slices (medallions).
- Whisk together flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Whisk together eggs with a pinch of salt in another shallow bowl and put bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl.
- Working with 1 medallion at a time, dredge medallions in flour, shaking off excess, and dip in egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with crumbs, pressing to help them adhere. Arrange pork in 1 layer on a baking sheet.
- Heat 1/4 inch oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then panfry medallions, turning over once, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a clean baking sheet and roast in oven until thermometer inserted horizontally into center of meat registers 145 to 150°F, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Serve pork with sauce, lemon wedges, and watercress.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality pork medallions that are at least 1-inch thick. This will ensure that they cook evenly and remain juicy.
- Pat the pork medallions dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the seasonings adhere to the meat and prevent them from steaming.
- Season the pork medallions generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Sear the pork medallions in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the pork is browned and slightly caramelized.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the lemon slices, capers, and white wine to the skillet. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Serve the pork medallions immediately, topped with the lemon-caper sauce.
Conclusion:
Pork medallions with lemon and capers is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork is tender and juicy, and the lemon-caper sauce is bright and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
