“I didn’t give you the finger, you earned it.” – BIll Murray
Here’s what you will need
for 2 servings
- 2 large cloves of garlic – chopped
- 1 fresh lemon quartered and sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter – divided
- 6 thin cut boneless pork chops
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese – hold a little backfire garnishing
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes or 3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
Here’s how to make your quick and easy Pork Scallopini.
First let’s cut up the lemon(s) and chop up the garlic, or, use the pre-cut garlic in a jar.
I’ll bet that your grocery store always has some thin cut boneless pork chops like these.
Put a Skillet on at medium high and add the olive oil and the butter. In a shallow bowl mix together the flour, salt and pepper. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture and
put them in the skillet leaving a little space between them. Cook them in batches if necessary.
Give them just about a minute to a minute and a half per side depending on the thickness. But these are pretty thin so I just went with a minute. When they are done remove them to a dish that will catch the drippings and set it on an idle burner on the stove to keep warm. Put the rest of the butter in the pan and then add the garlic, lemon and parsley.
Now stir it up with a wooden spoon scraping the bottom to get any bits from the pork chops into the mix. And after just about a minute put the white wine or – chicken stock – in the skillet and as soon as it starts to heat up to a simmer put the pork chops back in. You can put them all in just move them around letting the liquid get in between them.
When the liquid has reduced and thickened a little serve your Pork Scallopini in Lemon Butter Sauce. And top off the meat and the pasta with the sauce and lemons from the pan plus some grated parmesan cheese. Bon Appetito!!
BTW that side dish is some is some Sautéed Spinach that was an easy multi-task with tonight’s meal. A nice bottle of Chianti goes good.
