PORK MARSALA WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Place the pork chops between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet or heavy skillet until 1/4-inch-thick.
• Sprinkle the pork on both sides with salt and pepper. Put the flour in a shallow dish and dredge the pork in it, shaking off any excess.
• Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and set aside. Repeat with the remaining pork.
• Add the mushrooms to the skillet and stir. Cook until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Pour in the Marsala and beef broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 6 minutes. (If the liquid reduces too quickly, splash in more broth as needed.)
• Whisk the cornstarch into the heavy cream in a small bowl. Pour into the sauce mixture and let it bubble and thicken for another minute.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Serve the pork with the Buttered Noodles and spoon some of the mushrooms and Marsala sauce on top. Sprinkle with the parsley.
• Add the egg noodles to a pan of salted boiling water and cook according to the package directions, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Drain, put back in the pan and add the butter, then season with salt and pepper. Add the parsley and toss.

PORK MARSALA WITH POLENTA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Lay the polenta slices on a baking sheet and brush the tops with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Broil until browned around the edges and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the pork and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side; remove to a plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the mushrooms, sliced garlic, shallot and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms brown in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and wine; bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Return the pork and any juices to the skillet. Cook over low heat until the pork is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the orange juice and season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the orange zest, parsley and minced garlic in a small bowl. Divide the polenta among plates. Top with the pork, mushroom sauce and parsley mixture.

PORK AND PROSCIUTTO WITH MARSALA BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• For the pork and prosciutto: Cut the pork into 1-inch-thick medallions. Place each piece between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound to 1/8-inch even thickness.
• Add the flour to a shallow dish and season liberally with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece of pork in the flour mixture and place on a wire rack to set.
• Add the olive oil to a 12-inch cast-iron skillet and set over medium heat. Working in batches, add 3 to 4 pieces of prosciutto and cook on each side until golden and crispy, 30 to 45 seconds. It's okay if they curl up a little and twist as they cook; the most important thing is they are crispy! Set aside on paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining prosciutto. Add the sage leaves to the oil and cook until translucent and crispy, about 45 seconds. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the pork in the same skillet in batches, 3 to 4 pieces at a time. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Set out on a serving platter and keep warm.
• For the marsala brown butter: Discard all but 2 tablespoons of oil from the skillet. Remove any black bits with a paper towel. Add the butter, garlic and shallots and cook over medium heat until the butter browns and the shallots turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
• Move the skillet away from the heat and deglaze with the Marsala. Return to the heat and simmer until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then add the chopped parsley.
• To serve, pour the brown butter sauce over the pork and drizzle with lemon juice. Garnish with the crispy prosciutto and sage.

PORK CHOPS MARSALA

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place a 1/4 cup flour in a shallow dish. Dredge pork in flour. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove pork from pan.
• Add shallots, garlic, and mushroooms to pan; saute 3 minutes or until moisture evaporates. Add remaining 2 tblsp. flour and thyme to pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring well. Combine chicken broth and Marsala, stirring until smooth. Gradually add broth mixture to pan, stirring constantly with a whisk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes or until sauce thickens.

PORK MEDALLIONS IN MUSHROOM MARSALA SAUCE

Steps:

• Trim the tenderloins of silverskin and any excess fat. Cut the tenderloins into 2-inch-thick medallions. Flip each medallion onto a cut side and press down with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly. Season the meat with 3/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons black pepper.
• Heat the olive oil and 1 Tbs. of the butter in a large sauté pan over high heat. When the butter is melted and foaming, add half of the meat and sear until nicely browned, 2 to 3 minute Flip and cook the other side until the meat is well browned and slightly firm to the touch, about another 2 minute Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining pork.
• Melt the remaining 2 Tbs. butter in the pan. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt and sauté for about 30 seconds, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the mushrooms and sauté until all of the mushroom liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are golden, about 3 minute Season with 1/2 teaspoons salt, sprinkle with the flour, and add the Marsala. Once the Marsala has almost completely evaporated, add the chicken broth and reduce by half, about 3 minute Stir in the cream and parsley, return the pork and any accumulated juices to the pan, and cook, flipping the pork once, until it's firm to the touch and still a little pink in the middle (cut into a piece to check), 2 to 4 minute Taste for salt and pepper and serve.
