This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's definitely worth the effort. The pork scallopini is melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the sauce is to die for.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork chops. I always have a few in the freezer, so I'm always looking for new ways to cook them.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pork scallopini turned out tough and dry. I think I overcooked it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out a little too salty. Next time, I'll use less salt.

This pork scallopini recipe is an absolute winner! The capers add a tangy flavor that perfectly complements the tender pork. I served it over mashed potatoes and green beans, and my family raved about it.
