You like chicken parmesan and eggplant parmesan, right? Well every once in a while you could go with boneless Pork Fillets Parmesan. It’s a little change to the old Parmesan standbys and it is good. Tonight the veggies were string beans in a parmesan kinda way.
Set your oven at 350°F/175°C. Trim the fat off the pork chops and put it into a skillet set at medium high and add one tablespoon of olive oil. Salt, pepper and garlic powder the chops and add them to the pan. Sear the chops for about one and a half minutes each side or a little longer depending on the thickness. They should be firm, not mushy but not rock solid either.
Remove the chops to individual casserole dishes or just one big one for all the chops. Cover the chops with a thin layer of marinara sauce. Your own or some good store bought or just slices of tomato in a pinch. Then slices of mozzarella or provolone cheese. We almost always go with mozzarella but occasionally provolone is a nice change. Moisten the cheese with just little bit of sauce so that it doesn’t get all crusty in the oven. Lightly drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle dried oregano, dried basil and grated parmesan. And a little bit of red pepper flakes go real good, but, that’s up to you.
Put them in the oven. Empty the skillet and add another tablespoon of olive oil. Rinse off the string beans and cut the stem ends off. Cut the beans in half and add them to the skillet. Sprinkle some salt, pepper and garlic powder. Toss a few times and cook until they are just beginning to get soft. Top with a little of the marinara sauce.
Then the slices of provolone. You use any kind of cheese that you want, mozzarella, cheddar, swiss, whatever YOU want. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Sprinkle some grated parmesan and sprinkle a little bit of red pepper flakes,,,,if you want.
Put the pan in the oven to melt the cheese down some more.
When the liquid in the bottom of the Pork Fillets Parmesan dishes is bubbling and the cheese has melted down on the strignbeans it is time to serve it all up!
Chianti goes great and some of Poppop’s Easy homemade bread to dip in those good juices.
