Pork Milanese With Warm Autumn Salad And Poached Egg Food

PORK MILANESE WITH WARM AUTUMN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees F or the lowest it will go.
• Set up a standard breading procedure by placing the flour, egg, and panko mixed with the grated pecorino in separate wide flat containers. Season the pork generously with salt on both sides. Using 1 hand for wet ingredients and the other hand for dry ingredients coat the meat in the flour, then in the eggs, and then in the bread crumbs, pressing the panko onto the pork to adhere. Set aside until ready to cook.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil until it is about a 1/2-inch deep. Check the temperature of the oil by dipping the edge of the pork into the oil, if it does not sizzle and bubble STOP and WAIT! Check it again in another minute. If the oil is smoking it is too hot. When the oil is at the proper temperature gently add the pork. Do not crowd the pan or you will end up with greasy pork; it may be necessary to work in batches. When the pork is beautifully golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the pan and blot on paper towels. Put them on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and put them in a warm oven.
• In another large skillet over medium-high heat, pour in a thin layer of olive oil. Add the onions, season with salt, and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, and cook until they are soft and wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. If the pan is looking dry add another few drops of olive oil. Toss in the apples and remove the pan from the heat. Add the escarole and radicchio and toss with the vinegar and more olive oil and salt, if needed.
• Arrange a piece of pork in the center of each plate and top with the salad. Sprinkle with the shaved pecorino and pumpkin seeds. You rock!

PORK MILANESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Coarsely crush the panko into a large shallow bowl. Stir the cheese into the panko. Lightly beat the eggs in another large shallow bowl. Sprinkle the pork generously with salt and pepper. Dip the pork, 1 piece at a time, in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge the pork in the crumb mixture, patting to coat completely. Place the pork on a small baking sheet.
• Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork to the hot oil and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then transfer them to a clean baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil to the skillet and fry the remaining pork.
• Transfer the pork to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

WARM SPINACH SALAD WITH PORK MILANESE

Steps:

• Prepare the pork: Pound the meat between 2 pieces of plastic wrap with a heavy skillet or mallet until thin. Crack the egg into a shallow bowl and add a touch of cold water; whisk to blend. Put the flour in a separate shallow bowl. Combine the breadcrumbs and parmesan in a third bowl; season with salt and pepper. Dip each slice of pork in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet; set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove from the heat and add the pork slices in a single layer. Return to the heat and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and flip the pork; cook 2 to 3 more minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer to paper towels to drain; slice into strips.
• Make the salad: Wipe out the skillet. Add the olive oil and tomatoes and increase the heat to high. Season with salt, add the red pepper flakes and cook until the tomatoes blister, 1 to 2 minutes; stir in the basil and lemon juice. Place half of the spinach in a medium bowl. Pour the tomatoes and any pan juices over the spinach and toss to wilt slightly; taste for seasoning. Toss with the remaining spinach. Divide among plates and top with the pork. Serve immediately.

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