Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 small fennel bulb, finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds
1/2 large shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely grated
2 tablespoons chopped drained capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
2 1/2 pounds center-cut boneless pork loin, silver skin removed
1 tablespoon (or more) vegetable oil
2 lemons, halved crosswise
Special Equipment:
A spice mill or a mortar and pestle

Steps:

  • Stir fennel, fennel fronds, shallot, garlic, capers, parsley, lemon zest, and 1/3 cup olive oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cover salsa verde and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grind fennel seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Slice pork loin into 4 pieces. Use the tip of a sharp knife to lightly score both sides of each piece in a crosshatch pattern, being careful to barely break the surface. Lightly brush all over with olive oil. Working one at a time, pound pork between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to 1/4" thick. Sprinkle with ground fennel, pressing to adhere; season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Working one at a time and adding more vegetable oil to skillet between batches as needed, cook pork until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plates.
  • Cook lemon halves, cut side down, in skillet until browned and caramelized, about 2 minutes. Spoon salsa verde over scaloppine and squeeze with lemons.
  • Do Ahead
  • Salsa verde can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

This was a great way to use up some leftover pork. The salsa verde was a delicious and refreshing addition.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but I really enjoyed this dish. The salsa verde was especially good.

So yummy! The pork was tender and juicy, and the salsa verde was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.

This was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was a good recipe. I think next time I'll reduce the amount of salt in the pork marinade by half.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The pork was cooked through but still juicy, and the salsa verde was bright and flavorful. I served it with roasted potatoes and green beans.

Easy to follow recipe with great results. The pork was tender and the salsa verde was a delicious addition. Next time I might try adding some mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes to the salsa.

This was a great recipe! I was a little skeptical about the fennel salsa verde, but it was really good. The pork was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to the pork befor

I have made this several times and it is a favorite. The pork is always tender and juicy, and the salsa verde is so flavorful. I like to serve it over mashed potatoes or pasta.
