PORK CUTLETS WITH LEMON AND CAPERS



Pork Cutlets With Lemon and Capers image

Meat, breaded and fried, is a can't-lose dinner proposition from Milan to Texas and back. Here pork loin is pounded thin, dipped in flour and beaten egg, then coated in bread crumbs and shallow-fried until golden and crisp. A little messy to make? Yes, but less so than you'd think. Accompanied by a mixture of chopped parsley, lemon zest and capers and a sprinkling of chopped egg, it's an elegant weeknight splurge. But a wedge of lemon is all the garnish a well-fried cutlet really needs.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 slices center cut pork loin, 1/2-inch thick and about 4 ounces each
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups soft bread crumbs, divided 1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup roughly chopped parsley
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
2 eggs, hard-cooked for 8 minutes, cooled and peeled
Olive oil, for frying
Lemon wedges

Steps:

  • With a meat mallet, pound pork slices to flatten slightly. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle a baking sheet or platter with bread crumbs. Dust pork slices with flour on both sides, then soak in beaten egg for 2 minutes. Using a fork or tongs, remove pork slices one at a time from egg mixture and place on top of crumbs. Sprinkle tops of slices with more bread crumbs, then turn over and sprinkle again so each slice is well coated. (They may be prepared up to this point an hour ahead and refrigerated, uncovered.)
  • Mix together parsley, lemon zest and capers in a small bowl. Chop hard-cooked egg and set aside.
  • Pour olive oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large cast-iron skillet (or use two pans to avoid crowding). Turn heat to medium high. When oil looks wavy, carefully place cutlets in pan and fry for 2 minutes, until golden. (Reduce heat if necessary.) Turn and cook for 2 minutes on other side, then remove and drain on paper towel. Season fried cutlets lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange cutlets on a warm platter. Sprinkle with parsley mixture, then with chopped egg. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

PORK CHOPS IN LEMON-CAPER SAUCE



Pork Chops in Lemon-Caper Sauce image

Here's my favorite recipe in Toni Tipton-Martin's excellent and invaluable "Jubilee: Recipes From Two Centuries of African American Cooking" (2019). It's a remix of one that the chef Nathaniel Burton collected into his 1978 opus, "Creole Feast: Fifteen Master Chefs of New Orleans Reveal Their Secrets," and one that Tipton-Martin glossed-up with lemon zest, juice and extra butter, a technique she learned from the restaurateur B. Smith's 2009 collection of recipes, "B. Smith Cooks Southern-Style." It's a dish of smothered pork chops, essentially, made into something glorious and elegant. "The food history of Blacks in America has been a story of the food of survival," she told me in an interview. "We need to start celebrating the food they made at work."

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 bone-in pork chops (about 8 ounces each)
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 very small shallot, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium, if store-bought
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest, plus 2 tablespoons juice
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Dry the chops with paper towels, and season aggressively with salt, pepper and the thyme. Swirl the olive oil into a large skillet, and heat over medium until the oil begins to shimmer. Add chops, and cook until well browned on each side and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate, and cover to keep warm.
  • Drain the fat from the skillet, then melt 2 tablespoons of butter in it over medium heat until sizzling. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté until the aromatics soften, reducing the heat if necessary, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the wine and chicken stock, raise heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the capers, parsley, lemon zest and juice and hot sauce to taste (if you're using it), and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until it's melted and the sauce looks smooth. Nestle the pork chops into the sauce, and allow them to warm up for a couple of minutes, then serve, pouring sauce over each pork chop to taste. Garnish with more fresh parsley.

PORK CUTLETS WITH CAPER SAUCE



Pork Cutlets With Caper Sauce image

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 boneless pork loin cutlets, about 3 ounces each, trimmed of excess fat
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable or peanut oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/3 cup drained capers
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup fresh or canned chicken broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons butter, optional
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold all of the cutlets in one layer. When the oil is very hot add the meat and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until browned. Turn the slices and cook about 5 minutes more. Reduce the heat and cook about 2 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Transfer the meat to a warm serving dish. Cover with foil and keep warm.
  • Pour off the fat from the skillet, then add the onion, garlic and capers. Cook, stirring until the onion is lightly browned. Add the vinegar, mustard, chicken broth and tomato paste. Stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Add any juices that may have accumulated around the cutlets. Add the butter, if desired. Blend well.
  • Add the cutlets to the skillet, bring to a simmer and serve immediately sprinkled with parsley.
