SESAME PORK MILANESE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 1/4-inch-thick boneless pork chops (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds total), trimmed of excess fat
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 thick slices white sandwich bread
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for frying
5 cups baby arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Season the pork chops all over with salt and pepper. Pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse crumbs (you should have about 3 cups). Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow baking dish and toss with the cheese, parsley and rosemary. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Put the flour in another shallow bowl. Dredge each chop in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs and coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing so the coating sticks.
  • Heat 1/4 inch olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the pork chops until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Toss the arugula and tomatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide the pork chops among plates and season with salt. Serve with the arugula salad and lemon wedges.

Bone-in Pork Milanese with a Roasted Fingerling Potato-String Bean-Tomato-Arugula Salad image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 pound small marble potatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces string beans, trimmed
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 bone-in pork loin chop
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 shallot, minced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups packed baby arugula
1 cup baby heirloom tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup bocconcini

Steps:

  • For the pork milanese: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
  • Toss the potatoes with some olive oil in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour onto a baking sheet in an even layer and transfer to the oven. Roast until golden brown, stirring halfway through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, season the boiling water with salt. Add the string beans and blanch until tender yet crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the beans from the boiling water and shock in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. As soon they are cold to the touch, drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Set a heavy-bottomed, high-sided saute pan over medium-high heat and fill with 1 to 2 inches of oil. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
  • Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Set the pork chop on the plastic wrap and cover with another piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, evenly pound the chop to approximately 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick.
  • To a shallow dish, add the flour. To a second shallow dish, add the eggs and whisk to combine. To a third dish, add the breadcrumbs. Dredge the pounded pork chop in the flour on both sides and shake off any excess. Then coat the chop in egg, again shaking off any excess. Lastly, add the chop to the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs into both sides of the chop.
  • Test the temperature of the frying oil with a piece of breadcrumb; if it bubbles all around and doesn't stop, the oil is ready. Carefully add the pork chop to the oil and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and season with salt. While the pork is frying, make dressing.
  • For the salad and dressing: Add the shallot, vinegar and mustard to a bowl. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the arugula, tomatoes, bocconcini, roasted potatoes and blanched string beans to a large bowl. Add half of the dressing and toss to combine. Add more dressing as needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Set the fried pork chop on a plate and top with the salad.

PORK CHOP MILANESE WITH ARUGULA AND TEARDROP TOMATOES



Pork Chop Milanese with Arugula and Teardrop Tomatoes image

Provided by Mario Batali

Categories     Leafy Green     Pork     Tomato     Sauté     Spring     Pan-Fry

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 center-cut pork chops, 1 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup fresh bread crumbs, lightly toasted
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 bunch of arugula, stems removed
1/2 pound teardrop tomatoes, halved lenghtwise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges, seeds removed

Steps:

  • 1 Remove the bones from the pork chops. Using a meat mallet, carefully pound the pork chops until they are uniformly 1/4 inch thick. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Dip each chop into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each chop in the bread crumbs and set on a plate.
  • 2 In a 14- to 16-inch sauté pan, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium heat until just smoking. Add the butter and allow it to foam for 10 to 15 seconds. Place the chops in the pan and cook until light golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn the chops and cook on the other side until light golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Add more oil if necessary, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, to avoid scorching the breading.
  • 3 In a large bowl, combine the arugula and tomatoes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper and toss to coat the greens.
  • 4 Place one pork chop on each of four warmed dinner plates. Divide the arugula salad evenly among the plates, place a lemon wedge on each plate, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the perfect crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • Make sure the pork cutlets are pounded thin before breading and frying. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the pork cutlets. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the cutlets will not brown properly.
  • Serve the pork Milanese immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular choices include arugula salad, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Pork Milanese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy breading and tender pork, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give pork Milanese a try. You won't be disappointed!
