Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

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
1 tablespoon capers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Pound pork chops between 2 sheets waxed paper or plastic wrap until very thin, about 1/8 inch.
  • 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. Cook pork chops until golden brown and almost cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a baking dish and lightly tent with aluminum foil, reserving the shallots and browned bits of food in the skillet.
  • Bake pork chops in the preheated oven until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Pour wine and chicken stock into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir lemon juice into sauce.
  • Drizzle sauce over pork chops and top with parsley, lemon zest, and capers.

PORK PICCATA

This recipe came from a Time-Life recipe book and originally called for veal; however, since veal is so expensive and difficult to come by, I use pork with the same very tasty results. I like to serve this with crusty French bread and a green salad.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork cutlets. Look for pork cutlets that are about 1/2-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the pork is tender and flavorful.
  • Pound the pork cutlets to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from curling up in the pan.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. This will help give the pork piccata a rich and flavorful taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the pork cutlets in batches if necessary to prevent them from steaming instead of searing.
  • Cook the pork cutlets until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will help ensure that they are tender and juicy.
  • Make sure the sauce is well-seasoned. The sauce should be flavorful and slightly tangy. You can adjust the amount of lemon juice and capers to taste.
  • Serve the pork piccata immediately. This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh.
