Pork Piccata With Lemon And Capers Food

PORK PICCATA WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• You will need to either have your butcher slice your tenderloin roast into thin slices before you bring home, or slice the tenderloin roast yourself using a very sharp knife into 1/2 of an inch thick slices.
• Season the thinly sliced and lightly pounded pork tenderloin slices with coarse kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Dredge the pork tenderloin slices in the all-purpose flour and shake off the excess all-purpose flour.
• Melt two tablespoons of butter with two tablespoons of authentic olive oil.
• When the unsalted butter and authentic olive oil start to lightly bubble or sizzle, add three pieces of dredged pork tenderloin and cook for about 5 minutes.
• When pork is browned, flip and cook the other side of pork tenderloin for 5 minutes. Remove the pork from metal skillet and transfer to a serving platter.
• Melt two more tablespoons butter and add another two tablespoons of olive oil.
• When butter and oil start to sizzle, add the other three pieces of pork tenderloin and brown both sides using the same method as above. Remove the cooked pork tenderloin from the heat and add pork tenderloin to the serving platter.
• Continue the above process with the last two tablespoons of unsalted butter and two tablespoons of authentic olive oil till all the pork tenderloin slices are done.
• Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice, chicken stock, splash of white table wine, and the Spanish capers to the metal skillet.
• Return to the stove and bring to a light boil, scraping up browned bits from the metal skillet for extra flavor. Check for seasoning. Return all the cooked pork tenderloin slices to the metal skillet and simmer for about 4- 5 minutes.
• Remove the pork tenderloin and place on a clean platter.
• Add the remaining two tablespoons of the unsalted butter to the sauce and whisk.
• Pour the sauce over the pork tenderloin slices and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
