PORK SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON BUTTER, CAPER SAUCE



Pork Scallopini with Lemon Butter, Caper sauce image

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...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lb boneless thin centercut pork chops
2 Tbsp capers
1/3 c white wine or chicken broth
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, fresh
1/4 c oil (or enough to make a puddle in the bottom of your frying skillet.)
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 c plus 1 t. all purpose flour
to taste salt and pepper
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped fine (optional)

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
8 pork scallopini or thin cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1/2 cup dry white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley and/or chives
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes

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.

Nutrition Facts :

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.
