Pork Scalloppini With Green Olives Tomato And White Wine Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH GREEN OLIVES AND LEMON

Steps:

• Season the chops with salt and pepper. "Season" also with sugar, sprinkling judiciously over both sides of the chops, as if it were salt. Heat the oil in a saute pan and brown the chops on both sides. Pour over the wine, and add half the lemon and olives, along with the rosemary. Cover, and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Uncover and test doneness. Boil down the liquid a little, if necessary, toss in the remaining olives and preserved lemon. Serve with the juices spooned over and a branch of roasted baby tomatoes on the side.
• To roast a branch of cherry tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lay the tomatoes on a baking sheet, dribble over a little olive oil, and bake at until the skins have wrinkled and the fruit is soft, 20 minutes to half an hour.

VEAL SCALLOPINI WITH OLIVE AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
• Heat oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until foam from butter subsides.
• Meanwhile, spread flour on half of a shallow baking pan. Working with 2 or 3 slices at a time, transfer veal to flour in 1 layer. Lightly season top side of veal with salt and pepper, then turn over to coat completely with flour. Shake off excess flour and stack slices on other half of pan. Sauté veal in batches without crowding, turning over once, until browned and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per batch. Transfer to a platter as browned, adding new cutlets to skillet as space becomes available, and keep warm in oven.
• When all of veal is cooked, bring wine, broth, tomatoes, and olives to a boil in uncleaned skillet, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, then add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and swirl skillet until butter is incorporated. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over veal.
