Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 small fennel bulb, finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds
1/2 large shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely grated
2 tablespoons chopped drained capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
1/3 cup olive oil, plus more
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
2 1/2 pounds center-cut boneless pork loin, silver skin removed
1 tablespoon (or more) vegetable oil
2 lemons, halved crosswise
Special Equipment:
A spice mill or a mortar and pestle

Steps:

  • Stir fennel, fennel fronds, shallot, garlic, capers, parsley, lemon zest, and 1/3 cup olive oil in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Cover salsa verde and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grind fennel seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Slice pork loin into 4 pieces. Use the tip of a sharp knife to lightly score both sides of each piece in a crosshatch pattern, being careful to barely break the surface. Lightly brush all over with olive oil. Working one at a time, pound pork between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to 1/4" thick. Sprinkle with ground fennel, pressing to adhere; season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high. Working one at a time and adding more vegetable oil to skillet between batches as needed, cook pork until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plates.
  • Cook lemon halves, cut side down, in skillet until browned and caramelized, about 2 minutes. Spoon salsa verde over scaloppine and squeeze with lemons.
  • Do Ahead
  • Salsa verde can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

The fennel was a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred it with less.

The pork was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter sauce.

This pork scaloppine with fennel salsa verde was an absolute delight! The pork was tender and juicy, while the salsa verde added a vibrant, herbaceous flavor. I especially loved the fennel's subtle anise note. It was a perfect balance of flavors and
