Cumin Dusted Pork Cutlets With Citrus Pan Sauce Recipes

CUMIN-BAKED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Sprinkle the pork chops on both sides with salt, then brush each side with mustard. Rub the cumin and pepper into the mustard.
• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the pork chops and brown for 2 minutes on each side. Put the skillet in the oven and bake until the chops are just cooked through, about 12 minutes. Divide among 4 plates and serve.

LEMONY PORK PICCATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Pound pork chops between 2 sheets waxed paper or plastic wrap until very thin, about 1/8 inch.
• Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Dredge both sides of each pork chop through flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter starts to sizzle. Add shallots and pork chops in 1 layer, working in batches if needed. Cook pork chops until golden brown and almost cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a baking dish and lightly tent with aluminum foil, reserving the shallots and browned bits of food in the skillet.
• Bake pork chops in the preheated oven until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Pour wine and chicken stock into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir lemon juice into sauce.
• Drizzle sauce over pork chops and top with parsley, lemon zest, and capers.

CUMIN-CRUSTED PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• In food processor, place bread slices. Cover and process with on-and-off pulses until fine crumbs form. In shallow bowl, stir together bread crumbs, cornmeal mix and cumin.
• In another shallow bowl, beat egg, mustard and water until blended. Sprinkle pork cutlets with salt and pepper. Dip pork in egg mixture, then coat with bread crumb mixture.
• Heat oven to 200°F. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat; add 4 pork cutlets. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and no longer pink in center. Keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining 4 pork cutlets and 2 tablespoons oil.
