Pork Chops Capricciosa Food

PORK CHOPS CAPRICCIOSA

Steps:

• Season the pork chops all over with 1 teaspoon salt. Spread the flour on a plate, and dredge the chops in flour, tapping off the excess.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet. When the butter melts, slide in the chops and brown on one side, about 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat. Turn the chops, and plop the garlic cloves in the spaces between them in the pan. When the garlic starts to sizzle, drop in the pickled cherry peppers, and let sizzle until the chops are browned on the second side, another 3 to 4 minutes.
• When the chops are browned, push them to one side of the skillet and add the potatoes. Season the potatoes with 1 teaspoon of the salt, and sprinkle in the rosemary needles and the red onions. Cover the skillet, and cook, gently turning everything occasionally, until the onions and potatoes are almost tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.
• Pour the vinegar into the skillet. Cook, covered, until the potatoes and onions are tender and the chops are cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Uncover, and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. If the sauce is too liquid, remove chops to a plate, increase heat to high, and boil until the sauce is thickened to your liking. Pour the sauce over the chops.

COSTOLETTE DI VITELLO ALLA CAPRICCIOSA (VEAL CHOP MILANESE)

Steps:

• Combine eggs, parsley, Parmigiano, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Place the flour and breadcrumbs in 2 more shallow bowls. Dredge the veal chop in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip into egg mixture and cover with bread crumbs.
• Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, fry the veal until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove from pan onto paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
• In a stainless steel or ceramic bowl toss tomatoes, onion, basil, lemon juice, oil, salt, and pepper. Plate veal and top with tomato salad.
