PORK SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON BUTTER, CAPER SAUCE
This is an amazing and tasty pork dish. It can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make it. I've changed it up a bit to make it much simpler and less time consuming. As well, I adjusted the sauce in order to thicken it up a bit, yet keep the rich buttery lemony flavor. I like to serve this with steamed carrots and pork...

Steps:
- 1. Season pork with salt and pepper. (or any of your favorite seasonings to taste)
- 2. Dredge in 1/2 c. flour. (Reserving the other 1 T. for the sauce, later)
- 3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
- 4. Cook the pork chops 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer to a warm plate. (Do not cover. This will cause the breading to get soft). I heat my oven and then shut it down so that it is slightly warm and place the plate of pork chops in the oven.
- 5. Drain excess oil from skillet, except for approximately 1/2 tablespoon.
- 6. Replace pan back on the stove top and add 1 T. butter and 1 T. flour to the reserved oil in pan. Stir until combined.
- 7. Add the white wine and lemon juice, stirring constantly. Cook, while stirring, until the sauce starts to thicken.
- 8. Add the capers and the remaining tablespoon of butter, stirring slowly to incorporate.
- 9. Serve with the sauce over the chops or on the side. It's all a matter of preference. (I like mine over my chops. D.H. likes his on the side.)
- 10. Top with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, then halve each piece crosswise; remove the seeds. Transfer to a large glass bowl and add 1/4 cup water. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Uncover and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil. Working in two batches, add the pork and cook until browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the capers and cook until sizzling, 1 minute. Add the wine and lemon juice. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Add the broth; boil until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Keep warm over low heat.
- Drain the squash and scrape the flesh into strands with a fork; discard the skin. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Stir the herbs into the pan sauce and transfer to a liquid measuring cup. Return the skillet to medium heat and add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly blistered, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the pork with the squash and tomatoes; drizzle the squash and pork with the pan sauce.

Steps:
- For the chops: Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Mix together the milk and eggs in a shallow dish. Place a heaping 1/2 cup of flour onto a plate, add a pinch of salt and pepper and mix through. Add the panko to another plate and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Bread the pork by dredging each chop first in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Next, transfer to the egg/milk mixture, coating both sides. Then, cover with the seasoned panko. Set aside.
- Add the oil and 3 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Add the breaded chops and cook until golden and crisp, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to paper towel-lined plate.
- Without cleaning the skillet, carefully add the capers and remaining 3 tablespoons butter, allowing the butter to melt. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour over the melted butter and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the wine and stock and bring to a boil. Simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice (or more to taste) and adjust the seasoning.
- For serving: Place the arugula on a platter and drizzle with the lemon juice. Shingle the pork chops on top. Drizzle the sauce over the pork chops and finish with the shaved Parmesan and parsley. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges and any extra sauce on the side.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork scallopini is tender, use a meat mallet to pound it thin before cooking. This will help break down the fibers and make the meat more tender.
- For a more flavorful dish, use a high-quality olive oil to cook the pork scallopini. Extra virgin olive oil is a good choice.
- Be careful not to overcook the pork scallopini. It should be cooked through but still slightly pink in the center. Overcooking will make the meat tough and dry.
- If you don't have capers on hand, you can substitute another briny ingredient, such as chopped olives or cornichons.
- Serve the pork scallopini immediately with the butter caper sauce. It can be served over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
Conclusion:
Pork scallopini with butter caper sauce is a classic dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The tender pork, flavorful sauce, and briny capers come together to create a delicious and satisfying meal. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
