Crispy Pork Chops With Buttered Radishes image

These crisp, panko-crusted cutlets are your weeknight answer to tonkatsu or Milanese with a simplified, one-step breading procedure, no eggs or flour required. Thin pork chops, either bone-in or boneless, are seasoned with salt and pepper, then simply pressed into panko bread crumbs before crisping up in a hot, oiled skillet. While any quick-cooking vegetable could be tossed in the brown butter and spooned over the chops, radishes are especially nice for the way they keep their bite even after a trip to the skillet. Whatever you do, don't forget the lemon.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bone-in or boneless pork chops (rib or loin), cut 1/2-inch thick (about 6 ounces each)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 cups panko or fresh coarse bread crumbs
3 tablespoons canola oil, plus more as needed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons capers
1 bunch radishes, with tops on if you like, cut into quarters
Flaky sea salt
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Season pork with salt and pepper. Place panko in a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish and season it with salt and pepper. Working one at a time, firmly press both sides of each pork chop into the seasoned panko until the chops are evenly and well coated.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet (10 to 12 inches) over medium-high heat; it should evenly coat the bottom of the skillet. If it doesn't, add a bit more oil. Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook until deeply golden brown, like the color of a well-baked croissant, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Using tongs or a spatula, flip pork and continue to cook until well browned on the other side, too, another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate, platter or cutting board lined with paper towel and season with salt.
  • Wipe out skillet and return to the stove over medium-high heat. Add butter, letting it sizzle, brown and foam. Add capers and half of the radishes, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Toss a few times, just to wilt the radish greens, if they're still on, and to evenly coat the radishes with the brown butter and capers.
  • Divide pork chops among plates and nestle butter-tossed radishes and capers alongside, plus remaining raw radishes. Sprinkle with a bit of flaky salt and serve with lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pork chops turned out tough. :(

I added a little bit of Dijon mustard to the butter sauce and it was delicious!

I would recommend using a thicker pork chop for this recipe. The thin ones I used cooked too quickly and were a little dry.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit with my family! The pork chops were crispy and juicy, and the radishes were perfectly tender.
