HONEY-MUSTARD PORK SCALLOPINI
This is one of the quickest main-dish entrees I have...and one of the most delicious. My family loves honey and mustard. Paired with crispy pork, it's even more mouthwatering. Pounding the boneless chops tenderizes them and makes them cook quickly. It's wonderful to have something as tasty as this when time is short.-Stephanie Moon, Boise, Idaho

PORK SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON BUTTER, CAPER SAUCE
This is an amazing and tasty pork dish. It can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make it. I've changed it up a bit to make it much simpler and less time consuming. As well, I adjusted the sauce in order to thicken it up a bit, yet keep the rich buttery lemony flavor. I like to serve this with steamed carrots and pork...

Tips:
- For the best results, use thin-sliced pork loin or tenderloin. This will ensure that the pork cooks quickly and evenly.
- Season the pork liberally with salt and pepper before dredging it in flour. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Use a heavy skillet or frying pan with a nonstick coating. This will help to prevent the pork from sticking and will make it easier to flip.
- Heat the oil or butter in the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the pork. This will help to sear the meat and create a nice crust.
- Cook the pork for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the pork, as this will make it tough.
- Serve the pork scallopini immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
