PORK CUTLETS WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

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.

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.

PORK CUTLETS WITH CAPER SAUCE

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.
