Lemony Pork Piccata

Share

This juicy Lemony Pork Piccata is served in the most luxurious butter sauce, just like you’d find at a trattoria in Italy! What makes something ‘piccata’? Well there are a few key ingredients, along with special cooking methods.

Firstly, the meat (or fish) is sliced or flattened until thin. Then it’s gently sauteed, before being served in a buttery sauce, made sour with lemon juice and capers. Those are the basics. I enrich my sauce with chicken broth and white wine, along with fried shallots and chopped parsley. Instead of slicing the pork, I use a meat mallet to flatten it, which also works to tenderize the meat.

To make Lemony Pork Piccata, you will need the following ingredients:

So, how to make Lemony Pork Piccata?

Steps to make Lemony Pork Piccata

1

Heat the oven

5

Preheat oven to 300 °F.

2

Flatten the pork chops

2

Lay the pork chops between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to bash until thinned out to about 1/8 inch.

3

Combine the coating

1

Add the flour and seasoning to a shallow bowl and mix together.

4

Coat the pork

2

Coat both sides of each pork chop in the flour and tap to get rid of the excess flour.

5

Melt the butter

1

Place a large skillet over a medium heat and melt the butter.

6

Cook the shallots and pork chops

10

Add the shallots and pork chops to the pan (if you can’t fit all 4 in, work in batches). Cook for around 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until the pork chops have turned a golden brown and are almost cooked through.

7

Prepare the pork chops for baking. Bake the pork chops baking

20

Lay the chops in a baking dish (leave the shallots in the skillet) and loosely cover with aluminum foil. Bake the pork for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 °F.

8

Make the sauce

2

Add the chicken broth and wine to the skillet, stir and bring the mixture to a boil. Scrape the browned bits of meat and shallots from the bottom of the skillet and mix into the liquid. Lower the heat and simmer gently for up to 5 minutes, until half the sauce has evaporated.

9

Add the lemon juice

2

Add the lemon juice and stir into the sauce.

10

Serve the pork

Serve the chops with the sauce ladled over and scattered with the capers, parsley and lemon zest.
