Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
2 large eggs
6 boneless pork loin chops, pounded thin to 1/3 inch-thick (1 1/2 pounds total)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
6 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Coarsely crush the panko into a large shallow bowl. Stir the cheese into the panko. Lightly beat the eggs in another large shallow bowl. Sprinkle the pork generously with salt and pepper. Dip the pork, 1 piece at a time, in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge the pork in the crumb mixture, patting to coat completely. Place the pork on a small baking sheet.

Transfer to paper towels to drain, then transfer them to a clean baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and fry the remaining pork.

SESAME PORK MILANESE

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless pork chops (about 6 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 3/4 cups panko
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
4 teaspoons white miso paste
1 5-ounce package mixed baby spinach and arugula
3 carrots, grated
1 cup assorted cherry tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Pound the pork chops with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until about 1/4 inch thick; season with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow baking dish. Whisk the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a second dish. Put the panko in a third dish. Working with 1 chop at a time, coat in the flour and then dip in the egg, shaking off any excess; firmly press both sides in the panko.
  • Heat about 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (a breadcrumb should instantly sizzle in the oil). Working in batches, fry the chops, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt. (Add more oil to the skillet between batches if needed to maintain a thin layer.)
  • While the chops cook, whisk the vinegar, miso, 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil in a large bowl until smooth. Add the greens, carrots and tomatoes and toss; season with salt and pepper. Serve with the pork chops.

PORK MILANESE



Pork Milanese image

Years ago while we lived in New York, we watched Rachel Ray make chicken milanese and she said you could do it to pork too. I did not have her cookbook nor did i have a computer and all I could remember was parmesan and panko. So this was my punt on her recipe. Never did go beack and check that to see how close I was but since...

Provided by Cathy Smith

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 boneless pork chops
1 box panko
1 tsp morton's nature season or to taste
2 clove crushed garlic
1/2 tsp garlic powder or to taste
2 large eggs
1/2 c milk
1/2 c parmesan cheese grated

Steps:

  • 1. If your pork chops are too thick then pound them a bit thinner so they will cook fast. Early in the day, I beat the milk with the eggs and added some Morton's and the fresh garlic. I then poured it over my pork chops with it, make sure each side gets some on it then cover and and let it sit in the fridge till time to cook. I turned it ever so often when i thought of it.
  • 2. I then mixed about 2/3 box panko together with the grated parmesan and sprinkled in the Morton's and garlic powder. At this point you can add some herbs if you like and on occasion I will add in some parsley and thyme or basil.
  • 3. I then coated the pork chops with the seasoned Panko and pushed it on, set it on a wire rack in single layer and let sit 10 minutes. Then I sautéed them in olive oil till golden brown. My family loved them.
  • 4. Panko is Japanese bread crumbs, they are quite different from regular bread crumbs, and the end up with an incredibly crispy product. If you cannot find them in your area then the best bet is to take fresh bread and run it through your food processor but not real fine, spread it out on a cookie sheet and then place it in a 200 degree oven for a while till it is crispy but no color on it. This coating is great on chicken tenders too.
  • 5. Don't use that dried up ground up old dirty sneaker cheese that ya sprinkle on pizza. Now I used "THE" parmesan cheese, the Reggiano one that is really a bit expensive to be shredding it into a coating. But it was what I had, just use a fresh grated one even if it is just Kraft.

Tips:

  • Use thin-cut pork chops: This will ensure that the pork cooks evenly and quickly.
  • Pound the pork chops: This will help to tenderize them and make them more receptive to the breading.
  • Use a flavorful breading: The breading is what gives pork Milanese its signature crispy texture and flavor. Be sure to use a breading that you enjoy, such as panko breadcrumbs, Italian breadcrumbs, or a combination of both.
  • Season the pork chops and breading well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings. This will help to bring out the flavor of the pork.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium-high heat: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the pork chops while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the pork chops will not cook evenly. Cook the pork chops in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately: Pork Milanese is best served hot out of the pan. Pair it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Pork Milanese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its crispy crust, juicy interior, and flavorful breading, pork Milanese is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty dinner option, give pork Milanese a try. You won't be disappointed!
