Pork milanese with creamy caper and lemon sauce is a classic Italian dish that is both flavorful and easy to prepare. The pork is pounded thin and then coated in breadcrumbs before being pan-fried until golden brown. The creamy caper and lemon sauce is made with a combination of butter, heavy cream, capers, lemon juice, and white wine. This dish is typically served with a side of pasta or vegetables.

PORK MILANESE WITH CREAMY CAPER SAUCE
Fried pork chops and tarter sauce with an Italian twist. The key to a nice crust in this recipe is: 1. using regular breadcrumbs versus panko (i use panko most of the time, but not for this dish), 2. getting the pan hot and ready for you but not exceeding medium heat or the breading will burn before the meat cooks, and 3. not turning or touching the chops it's time to flip. If you follow these instructions, you'll have a nice golden crust on your pork chops. This is a Giada recipe that hardly needed tweaking.

PORK CHOPS IN LEMON-CAPER SAUCE
Here's my favorite recipe in Toni Tipton-Martin's excellent and invaluable "Jubilee: Recipes From Two Centuries of African American Cooking" (2019). It's a remix of one that the chef Nathaniel Burton collected into his 1978 opus, "Creole Feast: Fifteen Master Chefs of New Orleans Reveal Their Secrets," and one that Tipton-Martin glossed-up with lemon zest, juice and extra butter, a technique she learned from the restaurateur B. Smith's 2009 collection of recipes, "B. Smith Cooks Southern-Style." It's a dish of smothered pork chops, essentially, made into something glorious and elegant. "The food history of Blacks in America has been a story of the food of survival," she told me in an interview. "We need to start celebrating the food they made at work."

Steps:
- Dry the chops with paper towels, and season aggressively with salt, pepper and the thyme. Swirl the olive oil into a large skillet, and heat over medium until the oil begins to shimmer. Add chops, and cook until well browned on each side and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a plate, and cover to keep warm.
- Drain the fat from the skillet, then melt 2 tablespoons of butter in it over medium heat until sizzling. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté until the aromatics soften, reducing the heat if necessary, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the wine and chicken stock, raise heat to high and bring the liquid to a boil, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the capers, parsley, lemon zest and juice and hot sauce to taste (if you're using it), and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter until it's melted and the sauce looks smooth. Nestle the pork chops into the sauce, and allow them to warm up for a couple of minutes, then serve, pouring sauce over each pork chop to taste. Garnish with more fresh parsley.
Tips:
- To ensure the pork cutlets are evenly cooked, use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness before dredging and cooking.
- For a crispy crust, make sure the pork cutlets are completely coated in the breadcrumb mixture before pan-frying.
- To prevent the pork cutlets from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or add a small amount of oil or butter to the pan.
- Cook the pork cutlets over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
- To make the caper and lemon sauce, use fresh lemon juice and capers for the best flavor.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or yogurt.
- Serve the pork Milanese with the caper and lemon sauce immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or basil.
Conclusion:
Pork Milanese is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of crispy pork, creamy caper and lemon sauce, and fresh herbs makes for a delicious and satisfying meal. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, pork Milanese is sure to be a hit.
