Categories     Easy

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs boneless pork chops (trimmed and sliced into 1/2" thick cutlets)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp garlic salt (or sub with equal parts salt and garlic powder)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
3 large eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Olive oil (canola oil or any high heat cooking oil to sauté)
Lemon wedges to serve (don't skip the lemons!)

Steps:

  • Line a cutting board with plastic wrap, place cutlets in a single layer on cutting board and cover with plastic wrap (this prevents splatter). Pound cutlets with a meat mallet or the back of a heavy saucepan, until 1/4" to 1/8" thick.
  • Set up three bowls. In the first combine 1/3 cup flour, 1 Tbsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp paprika and 1/2 tsp pepper. In the second, use a fork to beat 3 eggs. In the third bowl, add 2 cups panko crumbs.
  • Dredge both sides of each pounded cutlet in flour then dip in beaten egg letting excess egg drip back into the bowl before breading in panko crumbs. It helps to use a fork for the dipping process to keep your hands clean. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
  • Once all cutlets are breaded, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add breaded cutlets a few at a time and sauté 3-4 min per side or until cooked through. Reduce heat if browning too quickly. Remove to paper towel lined plate. Cut into one to check doneness - juices should run clear. Serve with lemon wedges, or ranch for children.

THIN PAN-SEARED PORK CHOPS



Thin Pan-Seared Pork Chops image

Double-thick pork chops always look appetizing, but unless they are cooked perfectly, they tend to be dry, regardless of whether you grill or bake them. That's especially true if they are lean loin chops. But skinny chops cooked over high heat on the stovetop are far more apt to come out juicy. Giving them an hour in quickly made brine adds even more flavor and tenderness. Ask your butcher to cut thin chops that weigh 4 to 5 ounces.

Categories     dinner, easy, steaks and chops, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup granulated or brown sugar
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
12 black peppercorns, lightly crushed
6 allspice berries, lightly crushed
8 thin, bone-in pork chops, also known as breakfast chops, 4 to 5 ounces each (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
5 ounces baby arugula (about 4 cups), or a mixture of arugula, tender parsley leaves and mint leaves
Pecorino cheese, for shaving (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the brine: In a nonreactive large bowl or large deep baking dish, combine salt, sugar, bay leaves, coriander, peppercorns and allspice. Stir in 8 cups cold water to dissolve salt and sugar.
  • Add pork chops to brine, making sure they are well submerged, and refrigerate. Leave chops in brine for 1 to 2 hours. Remove from brine, pat dry and bring to room temperature. Discard brine.
  • Make the dressing for the herb salad: Whisk together lemon juice, zest and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Put 2 large cast-iron skillets over medium-high heat and film each pan lightly with oil. (Alternatively, use a large cast-iron griddle or ridged stovetop grill.) When oil is hot, add chops in one layer without crowding.
  • Cook for about 4 minutes, until chops are nicely browned, then turn and cook for about 3 minutes more, until firm to the touch. Transfer to a warm platter.
  • Put herb salad leaves in a shallow bowl and season lightly with salt. Toss leaves with half the dressing, just to coat. Place dressed salad on top of pork chops. Drizzle remaining dressing over the top, add shavings of pecorino cheese (if using), and serve.

Tips:

  • To tenderize the pork chops, use a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet to pound them until they are about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasonings, before dredging them in flour.
  • Use a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat to cook the pork chops. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
  • Cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. To check if they are done, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chop. It should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Pounded pork chops are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. They are also a great way to use up leftover pork chops. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
