Italian Breaded Pork Chops image

My father's side of the family is Sicilian, and has been making these pork chops for at least 3 generations. My husband frequently requests these over my marinated and grilled pork chops when I give him a choice. If you do not have an oven-proof skillet, you may cook the chops on the stove at medium-low.

This recipe for Italian-style breadcrumbs can be found in the cookbook "The Young Man and the Sea" by David Pasternack and Ed Levine.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Cuisine-Inspired Recipes     Italian Recipes

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 loaf Italian bread, torn into 2-inch pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bread pieces on a baking sheet. Bake until bread is dry and crunchy, about 15 minutes. Transfer bread to a food processor and pulse to form fine crumbs; set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add lemon zest and continue cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Add breadcrumbs, parsley, and remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil; stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper; remove from heat. Breadcrumbs can be stored in an airtight container until ready to use.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for the best results. This will help to create a crispy crumb texture.
  • Cut the bread into small cubes before drying it out. This will help to ensure that the bread dries evenly.
  • Dry the bread out completely before making the breadcrumbs. This will help to prevent the breadcrumbs from becoming soggy.
  • Use a food processor or blender to grind the bread into crumbs. This will help to create a fine, even crumb texture.
  • Season the breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices as desired.
  • Store the breadcrumbs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Making Italian-style breadcrumbs is a simple and easy process that can be done at home with just a few ingredients. With a little planning, you can have fresh, delicious breadcrumbs on hand to use in a variety of recipes. Whether you're using them to coat chicken or fish, add texture to a salad, or make a crispy topping for a casserole, Italian-style breadcrumbs are a versatile ingredient that can add flavor and texture to any dish.
