CRISPY BAKED PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Stir the thyme, salt, and pepper into the mustard.
• Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the pork.
• Coat each piece of pork with the panko breadcrumbs.
• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and once it is hot, lightly fry the pork for 2 minutes on each side or until brown and crispy.
• Place the whole skillet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until cooked to your liking.

CRISPY PORK CUTLETS (TONKATSU) WITH SHAVED CABBAGE SALAD AND GINGER VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Soak the cabbage in ice water for 20 minutes. Drain thoroughly then spin very dry in a salad spinner (or pat with paper towels). Set aside.
• Meanwhile, carefully score the flat sides of the chops with a paring knife at 1-inch intervals, about 1/4 inch deep. Season with kosher salt and pepper.
• Heat 3 inches of oil in a large pot to 350 degrees F.
• Put the flour, eggs and panko in 3 separate shallow bowls. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each chop in the flour, shaking off the excess; dip in the egg, then dredge in the panko, pressing to help the crumbs adhere.
• Fry the cutlets in a single layer, working in batches if need be, until medium browned (not burnt), 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and season immediately with sea salt.
• While the cutlets cook, combine the cabbage with the chives, lemon juice and salt in a large bowl and toss.
• Place each cutlet on a plate; add a pile of the seasoned cabbage and dress with the vinaigrette. Serve right away with some tonkatsu sauce, a smear of Japanese hot mustard on the edge of plate, lemon wedges and bowls of rice on the side, if you like.
• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a simmer. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute. Drain then immediately plunge in ice water. Drain again, then place in a blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Season with salt and white pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 week. Makes 3 cups.

KNIGHT'S CUTLET

Steps:

• For the gravy: In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the stock, garlic powder, onion powder, Maggi seasoning, allspice, juniper and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and cook, 15 minutes. Strain out the solids so you have a clear stock and return the stock to the saucepan.
• In a small saucepan, cook the sugar until caramelized. Add 2 ounces of the stock. Pour into the saucepan with the stock.
• In another pan, melt the butter, then pour in the flour and cook, whisking, until browned. Add 4 ounces of the stock and whisk. Add the contents to the saucepan with the stock and mix. Bring to a boil and cook until the contents thicken into a gravy.
• For the cutlet: Cut the pork loin down the center, lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, and open like a book. Pound the meat on both sides until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Sprinkle the inside with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• On one side of the meat, layer the filling in this order: bacon, peppers, mushrooms, Swiss cheese and ham. Roll up the meat, starting on the side with the ingredients, to make a 5-inch roulade.
• In a large frying pan, heat 1/2 inch of the oil to 250 degrees F. Line a plate with a paper towel. Soak the roulade in the beaten eggs, then roll in the breadcrumbs. Fry until golden brown and crisp, rotating the roulade all the way around, 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oil and let drain on the paper towel-lined plate. Serve with 2 tablespoons of the gravy.

PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the egg white and water until it starts to foam. Stir in a teaspoon of dry mustard. Season cutlet with salt and pepper. Dip the cutlet in flour, then the egg mixture, coating thoroughly, and then in the breadcrumbs. Be sure that both sides are covered well. Set aside, or refrigerate, covered by a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap.
• Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan until hot. Add the cutlet, lower the heat slightly, and cook for about 2 minutes. Turn with a spatula, and brown the other side. Continue cooking, turning once again if necessary, until the pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes in total. When done, the flesh will be white. Drain on a paper bag. Serve with a squeeze of lime.
• Serve with potato and leeks

TONKATSU: BREADED PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Heat oil to 350 degrees F.
• In medium size bowl mix eggs and water. Put flour in a shallow bowl with some salt and pepper to taste. Likewise, put panko into a shallow bowl. Lightly salt and pepper the pieces of pork then dredge pork in flour, then egg wash, then press into panko. When all pieces are done fry off in batches until golden brown. Drizzle with tonka sauce.
• Put all above ingredients in stainless steel saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer for 25 to 30 minutes skimming any foam that rises to the top. Chill and refrigerate. Sauce will keep for 4 to 6 weeks.
• Yield: 3 cups

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.

SOUTHWESTERN PORK CUTLETS

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Toss the sweet potatoes and peppers with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste on a rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer. Bake on the lower oven rack until tender and charred in spots, about 35 minutes. Meanwhile, set a wire rack on another rimmed baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Stir the mayonnaise, milk, chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Place the panko in another large bowl. Add the pork to the mayonnaise mixture and turn to coat. One at a time, transfer each cutlet to the bowl of panko and turn to coat; arrange on the wire rack. Coat both sides of the cutlets generously with cooking spray. Bake the cutlets on the upper oven rack until golden brown and cooked through, 12 to 18 minutes. Serve the pork with the roasted vegetables, salsa verde and lime wedges.

BALSAMIC PORK WITH OLIVES

Steps:

• Mix the oil with vinegar, mustard and garlic. Score the meat on both sides, season, then put into a dish. Pour over the balsamic mixture and leave to marinate for 5 mins.
• Heat a griddle pan until very hot. Lift the pork from the marinade, scraping off any garlic, then cook for 4 mins on each side. Remove the meat and keep warm. Pour the marinade into the pan with the olives, cook for 2 mins, then stir in the basil. Pour any juices from the pork into the pan, drizzle the sauce over the pork and serve with pasta.

BRAISED PORK ROAST WITH OLIVES

Steps:

• Place oil over medium-high heat in a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven or stovetop casserole. Add pork and sear on all sides until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Remove meat.
• Add garlic and onions; sauté over medium-low heat until soft. Add bay leaves; deglaze pan with vinegar. Add port and stock. Season meat with salt and pepper; return to pot.
• Place over very low heat and cook, basting occasionally, 40 to 45 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer reads 140 degrees. Add a little more stock if liquid cooks down too fast. Remove meat to a platter to rest 15 to 20 minutes; temperature will rise to 150 to 155 degrees.
• Reheat sauce and add olives and parsley. Adjust seasoning as needed.
• Slice meat and cut ribs apart. Arrange all on a platter, spoon sauce over and serve.
