Pork Milanese
I love the flavors of Milanese style. The crisp meat, in this case pork, with the fresh a lemony arugula salad. Milanese style can be made with veal, chicken, and pork. My favorite cut of pork is the rib end chop. Laced with lots a fat it is a tender and juicy cut of pork. The key to Milanese is to pound the meat thin and get it nice an crispy! The simplicity of this dish is what makes it amazing! Like all Italian cooking in my opinion, but I may be a little bias!
Pork Milanese
Ingredients
- 3 Rib End Pork Chops
- 5 oz Arugula
- 3/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 3/4 cup Plain Breadcrumbs
- Zest of 1 Lemon
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 2 Large Eggs (with a splash of water)
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil for the pan
- 1 Garlic clove
- Salt & Pepper to Taste
Dressing
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- 4 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper To Taste
- Parmigiano Reggiano Shavings to taste
Instructions
- Pound the pork chops Best thing as possible without damaging the meat.
- To a bowl, add two eggs and a splash of water and whisk. Season with salt and pepper.
- To a dish, add Panko breadcrumbs, plain breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Mix to combine.
- Dip the pork chop into the egg wash and then into the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure you press down hard to adhere the breadcrumbs to the meat. Also, ensure that the entire pork chop is covered in breadcrumbs, including the bone, that's the tastiest part to chew on!
- To a large fry pan, add olive oil with one clove of garlic, still in its sheath. The flame should be on high medium.
- Once the olive oil is hot, carefully, add the pork chop and fry on both sides until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. This process should take about 3 to 4 minutes on each side depending on the thickness. Check the meat before consuming because this is pork and it needs to be cooked thoroughly.
- Once golden brown on both sides, place on a wire rack and sprinkle with salt.
- Into a bowl, add arugula and dress with the juice of one lemon, salt, pepper and olive oil. Top with Parmigiano Reggiano shavings.
