Provided by Claire Saffitz

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 pounds boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), fat trimmed to 1/4", cut into 4 steaks
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups dried breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
Flaky sea salt
1 small fennel bulb, cored, thinly sliced, plus 2 tablespoons fennel fronds
6 asparagus, shaved lengthwise into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Pound pork steaks between 2 layers of plastic wrap to 1/4" thick. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Lightly beat eggs in another shallow bowl. Toss breadcrumbs and cornstarch in a third shallow bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper.
  • Working one at a time, season cutlets with kosher salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Transfer to bowl with egg and turn to coat. Lift from bowl, allowing excess to drip off. Coat with breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in 2 batches, cook cutlets, shaking pan occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack; season with sea salt.
  • Combine fennel, fennel fronds, asparagus, onion, and parsley in a medium bowl. Toss with lemon juice and olive oil; season with kosher salt and pepper. Serve salad alongside cutlets with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt
1 small bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

1/4 cup fat-free sour cream

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 clove garlic, smashed to a paste with a pinch of salt
1 lemon, juice and zest
1/4 cup Italian white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 bunches jumbo asparagus, trimmed
1 large bulb fennel, trimmed, halved
Canola oil, for oiling grill
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup golden currants
1/2 cup oil-cured olives, pitted, crushed
3 cups baby arugula
Pinch kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shaved Pecorino Romano

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high.
  • For the vinaigrette: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic paste, lemon juice and zest, vinegar, salt, pepper and chili flakes. Gradually whisk in the olive oil. Cover and set aside.
  • For the salad: Add the asparagus and fennel to the vinaigrette and toss to coat well. Brush the grill with some canola oil. Place the vegetables on the grill and cook until just caramelized and charred on all sides, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool briefly.
  • Heat a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the pine nuts; toast until just golden brown, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool in the pan.

Steps:

  • Place pork between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
  • Place pork pieces on a plate and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over pork pieces, lightly coating both sides. Pour eggs over pork, turning to coat.

Add 4 breaded pork cutlets and cook until pork is not longer pink inside, and the crust is well-browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

  • Roast the cutlets in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
  • Serve the cutlets with a flavorful sauce or salsa. This will help to enhance the flavor of the cutlets.

Conclusion:

Pork shoulder cutlets are a delicious and versatile cut of meat. They can be cooked in a variety of ways, and they are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are grilling, roasting, or braising, pork shoulder cutlets are sure to please everyone at the table.
