PORK-CUTLET PARMESAN
You've enjoyed it with veal; you've loved it with chicken. It's time to meet... pork parm. The base is tenderloin, sliced into medallions and pounded thin so it cooks in a flash. A triple-dip into flour, then egg, then panko, makes a coating that stays crisp even after it cools. Top with a spoonful or two of tomato sauce and mozzarella and broil until the cheese melts.

Steps:
- Pound pork with the flat side of a meat mallet into 1/4-inch-thick cutlets. Pat dry with paper towels; lightly season with salt and pepper. Place flour in a pie dish or a wide, shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs in a second dish. Toss breadcrumbs and oregano in a third dish; season with salt and pepper.
- Working one at a time, dredge cutlets in flour, shaking off excess, then eggs, allowing excess to drip back into dish. Press into breadcrumb mixture, flipping to fully and evenly coat. Transfer to a wire rack; let stand 10 minutes.
- Heat a scant 1/2 inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high. When it shimmers and a breadcrumb dropped in immediately rises to surface and sizzles, carefully add a few cutlets in a single layer (do not crowd skillet). Fry, flipping once, until golden brown all over and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes total.
- Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with a wire rack. Let stand until drained and crisp, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, repeat with remaining cutlets.
- Preheat broiler with a rack about 8 inches from heat element. Top cutlets evenly with Parmigiano, then tomato sauce and mozzarella. Broil just until cheese melts, 2 to 4 minutes. Top with basil and serve warm, with more tomato sauce and Parmigiano alongside.
PORK CUTLETS PARMIGIANA
This Italian-American comfort food recipe came to The Times in 1993 in one of Pierre Franey's beloved "60-Minute Gourmet" columns. His version of the classic casserole calls for slices of pork loin, a "lean, moist and versatile" option, Mr. Franey said, which are pounded thin then breaded and pan-fried until golden. A simple tomato sauce of canned crushed tomatoes, onions, garlic and oregano comes together in about five minutes, which is layered in a baking dish with the cutlets and topped with a blanket of mozzarella. The whole dish is showered with a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and baked until bubbly. Mr. Franey suggested serving it with spaghetti, which seems like a great idea to us, but we might add a tangle of sautéed broccoli rabe to cut through the richness.

Steps:
- Pound each slice of pork on a flat surface with a meat pounder or a mallet to about 1/4-inch thick. (Properly pounded slices will look like veal scallopini.)
- Place the egg, water, cumin, rosemary and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl, and beat well. Place the bread crumbs on a flat dish.
- Dip the pork slices in the egg mixture to coat and then dip in the bread crumbs. Pat lightly with the flat side of a kitchen knife to help the crumbs to adhere.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan and add the garlic and onions. Cook, stirring for one minute; do not brown. Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and place as many cutlets as possible in one layer. When the slices are golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes, cook on the other side for 3 minutes. As the pieces are done, transfer them to a heated platter. Add more oil, if necessary, to the skillet, and continue cooking the rest of the slices in the same manner.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a baking dish large enough to hold the cutlets in one layer, spoon a little sauce over the bottom, add the cutlets, spoon more tomato sauce on top and cover each cutlet with mozzarella cheese. Add the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the dish and bake until piping hot and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Place wire racks over 2 sheet pans. Cut two 12-inch sheets of plastic wrap.
- Place one sheet of plastic on a clean cutting board. Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic and top with the other sheet of plastic. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4-inch thick.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Meanwhile, combine the panko, all but 2 of the basil leaves and Parmigiano-Reggiano in a food processor and pulse until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a small sheet pan or plate. Place the flour on a second small sheet pan or plate and season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs, mustard and 2 tablespoons of water together in a shallow bowl until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Begin by dipping one piece of chicken into the flour, then into the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumb mixture to coat completely. Set the breaded cutlet on one of the wire racks. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Raise the heat under the skillet to medium-high. Cook the cutlets in two batches until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the second wire rack and sprinkle with salt.
- While the chicken is frying, prepare the sauce.
- Combine the passata, garlic and reserved 2 leaves of basil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Place the sliced rolls on a sheet pan. Broil the rolls until just toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Top each fried chicken cutlet with the sauce and a few slices of mozzarella. Broil until the cheese is brown and bubbly, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Place each chicken parm cutlet onto the bottom half of a roll. (If chicken is too wide, cut lengthwise and stack the chicken so it all fits.) Top with more sauce and the top buns. Slice in half and take a crunchy bite!

Steps:
- Heat some olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook until onions are translucent, 2-3 minutes.
- To the skillet with the onions, add the grape tomatoes and wine. Cook, stirring occaisionally until the tomatoes start to burst and the wine has reduced by half. Set aside and keep warm.
- Cook angel hair according to package directions and drain.
- While the sauce is cooking, set up the breading stations. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in a bowl with a splash of water. In a third shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Coat the cutlets in the flour, egg, and breadcrumbs in that order and then cook in a single layer for 3-4 minutes on each side until done and browned. Remove cooked cutlets to a paper-towel lined plate.
- Preheat the broiler. Arrange the cutlets on a cookie sheet. Top each cutlet with a little of the warm tomato topping and a little mozzarella cheese. Place the cookie sheet uner the broiler and broil until cheese melts.
- Serve over cooked angel hair pasta.
Tips
- Choose the right cut of meat. Pork cutlets are typically made from the loin or shoulder, and they should be about 1/2-inch thick. If you're using chicken, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
- Tenderize the meat. Pounding the meat with a meat mallet or rolling pin will help to tenderize it and make it more evenly cooked.
- Use a flavorful breading. A mixture of bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning is a classic choice for pork cutlet parmigiana. You can also use a store-bought breading mix.
- Pan-fry the meat. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook the meat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- Top with cheese and sauce. Place the cooked meat on a baking dish and top it with your favorite marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
