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.

Categories     main-dish

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.
  • Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork to the hot oil and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. 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.
  • Transfer the pork to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pork chops
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sliced shallots
⅓ cup dry white wine
¼ cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon zest

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

  • Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Dredge both sides of each pork chop through flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter starts to sizzle. Add shallots and pork chops in 1 layer, working in batches if needed.

PORK MILANESE WITH CREAMY CAPER SAUCE



Pork Milanese With Creamy Caper Sauce image

Fried pork chops and tarter sauce with an Italian twist. The key to a nice crust in this recipe is: 1. using regular breadcrumbs versus panko (i use panko most of the time, but not for this dish), 2. getting the pan hot and ready for you but not exceeding medium heat or the breading will burn before the meat cooks, and 3. not turning or touching the chops it's time to flip. If you follow these instructions, you'll have a nice golden crust on your pork chops. This is a Giada recipe that hardly needed tweaking.

Tips:

  • To ensure the pork chops are evenly cooked, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness.
  • For a crispy crust, make sure the pork chops are dry before dredging them in the flour mixture.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to cook the pork chops. This will help prevent them from sticking and burning.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the pork chops. This will cause them to steam instead of fry.
  • To make the creamy caper and lemon sauce, use a whisk to combine the ingredients until smooth. Do not boil the sauce, as this will cause the cream to curdle.
  • Serve the pork Milanese with the creamy caper and lemon sauce immediately.

Conclusion:

Pork Milanese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The crispy pork chops are smothered in a creamy caper and lemon sauce that is packed with flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
