Milanese Braised Pork Food

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.

BONE-IN PORK MILANESE WITH SOY-HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• For the glaze:
• Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until soft. Stir in the red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds.
• Deglaze the pan with rice wine vinegar, and then stir in the honey and soy and cook until just heated through. Remove from the heat and season with pepper, to taste. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
• For the pork chop:
• Heat the grill to high. Brush the chops with oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides, and just cooked through, brushing with some of the glaze, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a platter, brush with more of the glaze and garnish with green onions.

PORK MILANESE

Steps:

• With your hand at least 12 inches away, lightly sprinkle salt and black pepper on all sides of the meat in a single layer.
• In a large bowl, season coarsely crush panko with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese. Stir to combine. In another bowl, lightly beat the egg.
• Dip the meat in egg wash then gently shake off excess. After that, thoroughly coat the meat with breadcrumbs and shake off excess.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Gently lay the breaded pork in your pan. Do not overcrowd the pan. Turn the meat over when it's lightly golden browned, about 2 minutes on each side or longer until cooked through. Do not overcook.
• Remove the cooked pork cutlet from the pan and set it on dry paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Let the pork rest for at least 3 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges and/or arugula salad. Enjoy!

• For the pork: Put the panko, Parmigiano-Reggiano, oregano and cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to a shallow dish. Put the eggs and flour in separate shallow dishes.
• Season the pork on both sides with salt and pepper. In order, dip one of the cutlets first in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the cookie mixture, being sure to shake off any excess after each step. Repeat with the other cutlet.
• Heat the butter, thyme and sage in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the cutlets and lower the heat to medium low. Slowly brown the cutlets on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side. Drain on a rack and immediately season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the arugula in the vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Divide the pork cutlets and salad between plates.

Heat a grill to hot, then cook the pork for 3 mins on each side, until golden and cooked through. Keep warm.
