Pork Milanese Recipes

SESAME PORK MILANESE

Steps:

• Pound the pork chops with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until about 1/4 inch thick; season with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow baking dish. Whisk the eggs, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a second dish. Put the panko in a third dish. Working with 1 chop at a time, coat in the flour and then dip in the egg, shaking off any excess; firmly press both sides in the panko.
• Heat about 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (a breadcrumb should instantly sizzle in the oil). Working in batches, fry the chops, turning once, until browned and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt. (Add more oil to the skillet between batches if needed to maintain a thin layer.)
• While the chops cook, whisk the vinegar, miso, 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil in a large bowl until smooth. Add the greens, carrots and tomatoes and toss; season with salt and pepper. Serve with the pork chops.

PORK MILANESE

Steps:

• Place the pork chops between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and use a mallet or a rolling pin to pound them very thin (no thicker than ¼ inch). If you think they're thin enough, pound 'em a few more times-the thinner the better!
• Place the flour in a shallow dish and mix in some salt and pepper. In another dish, whisk together the half-and-half and eggs. Place the breadcrumbs in a third dish. Set the 3 dishes aside.
• Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Coat them one at a time in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and then in the breadcrumbs. Lay in a single layer on a baking sheet until you're ready to cook them.
• Combine 1 tablespoon each olive oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. When the butter is melted and hot, add 2 breaded pork chops and cook until the breading is golden brown and the pork is cooked through, about 2 minutes per side (add more oil or butter to the skillet when you flip, if necessary). Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining oil, butter, and pork in two more batches.
• Shave the parmesan using a vegetable peeler. Place a piece of pork on each plate and top with the greens. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the greens, then sprinkle with a little salt. Top with the parmesan shavings and serve with more lemon wedges.

PORK MILANESE

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.

PORK MILANESE WITH CREAMY CAPER AND LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• For the Creamy Caper and Lemon Sauce: Combine the mascarpone and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Slowly add the milk, stirring as you go, until all the milk is incorporated. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Set aside.
• For the Pork Milanese: Combine the flour and the 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a shallow dish and stir together. Crack the eggs into another shallow dish and beat until combined. In a third shallow bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Dip the pork, 1at a time first in the flour, then the eggs, then the bread crumbs. Warm the vegetable in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot place the breaded pork in the pan. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to a serving platter and serve with the sauce alongside.

PORK MILANESE WITH SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pan, then fry the garlic for a few secs. Add the chopped tomatoes and balsamic vinegar and bubble for about 15-20 mins until the sauce is thick.
• Meanwhile, lay the pork medallions between two layers of cling film and bash with a rolling pin until they are about 1cm thick. Mix the flour with some seasoning in one bowl, put the egg in another and the breadcrumbs in a third. Dip the pork in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Heat a grill to hot, then cook the pork for 3 mins on each side, until golden and cooked through. Keep warm.
• Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Stir through the tomato sauce and the chopped basil, divide the pasta between 4 plates, put the crispy pork on top and eat immediately.
