PORK MILANESE WITH WARM AUTUMN SALAD

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated pecorino, plus 1/4 cup shaved pecorino
2 boneless pork loin chops, butterflied and gently flattened with the bottom of a saute pan
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 small red onion, sliced
1 cup oyster mushrooms, cut into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup (1/2-inch) diced Granny Smith apple
1 cup escarole, cut into bite size pieces
1 radicchio trevisano, julienned
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup toasted green pumpkin seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees F or the lowest it will go.
  • Set up a standard breading procedure by placing the flour, egg, and panko mixed with the grated pecorino in separate wide flat containers. Season the pork generously with salt on both sides. Using 1 hand for wet ingredients and the other hand for dry ingredients coat the meat in the flour, then in the eggs, and then in the bread crumbs, pressing the panko onto the pork to adhere. Set aside until ready to cook.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil until it is about a 1/2-inch deep. Check the temperature of the oil by dipping the edge of the pork into the oil, if it does not sizzle and bubble STOP and WAIT! Check it again in another minute. If the oil is smoking it is too hot. When the oil is at the proper temperature gently add the pork. Do not crowd the pan or you will end up with greasy pork; it may be necessary to work in batches. When the pork is beautifully golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the pan and blot on paper towels. Put them on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and put them in a warm oven.
  • In another large skillet over medium-high heat, pour in a thin layer of olive oil. Add the onions, season with salt, and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and cook until they are soft and wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. If the pan is looking dry add another few drops of olive oil. Toss in the apples and remove the pan from the heat. Add the escarole and radicchio and toss with the vinegar and more olive oil and salt, if needed.
  • Arrange a piece of pork in the center of each plate and top with the salad. Sprinkle with the shaved pecorino and pumpkin seeds. You rock!

¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese ((lightly packed))
¼ tsp Italian seasoning
⅛ tsp garlic powder
kosher salt ((to taste))
black pepper ((to taste))
¼ cup vegetable or canola oil

Steps:

  • With your hand at least 12 inches away, lightly sprinkle salt and black pepper on all sides of the meat in a single layer.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

Balsamic Reduction, recipe follows
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, sliced crosswise
Kosher salt
One 1 1/2-pound pork tenderloin
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 cups plus 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups arugula
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large (about 24-inch) fresh French or Italian loaf (crusty and light but not too dense)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
2 burrata cheese balls (4 ounces each), drained, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Flakey sea salt
8 leaves fresh basil
1 cup sliced pickled banana peppers, plus brine for drizzling
2 cups balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 shallot, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the dressing and marinate the tomatoes: In a small bowl, whisk together the Balsamic Reduction and mustard. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the dressing with the tomatoes and salt to taste. Toss to coat and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining dressing for the sandwich.
  • Make the pork: Cut the tenderloin on a bias into four equal pieces. Pound out each piece between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into a long 1/4-inch-thick cutlet.
  • Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (this gives it the puffy golden brown exterior we love!). Place the breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
  • Generously sprinkle the pork cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and shake off the excess. Then coat in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off. Coat in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure it all sticks. Transfer the cutlets to a sheet pan and let dry out for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 2 cups oil in a large high-sided pan or skillet over medium heat until it registers 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Fit two sheet pans with wire racks and set aside.
  • Fry the cutlets in batches while gently shaking the skillet to ensure no sticking and that the tops of the cutlets get some love, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a rack to drain.
  • Assemble the subs: In a medium bowl, combine the arugula and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Set aside.
  • Cut the bread in half horizontally to split. Drizzle the cut sides of the bread with the reserved balsamic dressing and some olive oil. Place the burrata slices on the bottom half of the bread, ensuring that all that creamy interior goodness evenly mingles with the bread. Sprinkle with flakey salt. Layer the pork, shingled and on a bias, on top. Top with the dressed arugula, marinated tomatoes, basil and banana peppers. Drizzle with some banana pepper brine, then close up with the bread top! Slice on the bias into 4 equal sandwiches.
  • In a small saucepan, add the balsamic, brown sugar, thyme, garlic, shallots and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then let it cook until it reduces to 3/4 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Strain.

PORK MILANESE

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 1/4-inch-thick boneless pork chops (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds total), trimmed of excess fat
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 thick slices white sandwich bread
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for frying
5 cups baby arugula
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Season the pork chops all over with salt and pepper. Pulse the bread in a food processor to make coarse crumbs (you should have about 3 cups). Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow baking dish and toss with the cheese, parsley and rosemary. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Put the flour in another shallow bowl. Dredge each chop in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs and coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing so the coating sticks.
  • Heat 1/4 inch olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the pork chops until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Toss the arugula and tomatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide the pork chops among plates and season with salt. Serve with the arugula salad and lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use thin pork cutlets that are about ¼-inch thick. If your cutlets are thicker, you can pound them out with a meat mallet until they are the desired thickness.
  • To make sure the pork cutlets are evenly coated with the egg wash and breadcrumb mixture, dip each cutlet in the egg wash, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs into the cutlet so that they adhere.
  • When frying the pork cutlets, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the cutlets. This will help to prevent the cutlets from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a crispy crust.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the pork cutlets. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the cutlets will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the pork cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. To check if the pork cutlets are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the cutlet. The internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the pork cutlets immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Sesame Pork Milanese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork cutlets are coated in a crispy breadcrumb mixture and then pan-fried until golden brown. The sesame seeds add a nutty flavor and the lemon wedges provide a bright and refreshing contrast. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
