• Pork Chops in Lemon-Caper Sauce By Sam Siftoncooking.nytimes.com2 min View Original dinner Yield 4 servings Time 35 minutes 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."

Cooking Notes 500 All218 Most Helpful29 Private0 mjan1 month ago In response to Vanessa: 2 teaspoons create a sauce. 2 tablespoons (in conjunction with 1 1/2 cups of stock and 1 cup of white wine would create more of a gravy. 185 This is helpful Vanessa1 month ago Wondering if it should be 2 Tablespoons of flour. The sauce is really thin when the directions are followed. 164 This is helpful Kevin1 month ago I just saw this but basically cooked the exact same thing Tonite for dinner except with pounded chicken breasts, and it was phenomenal. Only difference was I used dill instead of parsley, added a few slices of lemon into the reducing sauce, and did not use capers or zest. I actually thought I should have added capers as we were eating. Did not even think of doing this with pork though. Can't wait to try it. 80 This is helpful Mojave Desert Rat1 month ago Jane, If you sear the pork chops first, mid- high heat. 4-5 minutes on both sides w/olive oil as noted in the recipe. They should finish cooking through in the sauce. Perhaps a few minutes extra if they're very thick cut chops. Gone are the days of overcooked dried out pork. Trichinosis isn't much of a work today. Try to purchase good quality Berkshire pork. 75 This is helpful Like this recipe? Save to Recipe Box Print this recipe EmailShare on PinterestShare on FacebookShare on Twitter

PORK CUTLETS WITH LEMON AND CAPERS

Steps:

• With a meat mallet, pound pork slices to flatten slightly. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle a baking sheet or platter with bread crumbs. Dust pork slices with flour on both sides, then soak in beaten egg for 2 minutes. Using a fork or tongs, remove pork slices one at a time from egg mixture and place on top of crumbs. Sprinkle tops of slices with more bread crumbs, then turn over and sprinkle again so each slice is well coated. (They may be prepared up to this point an hour ahead and refrigerated, uncovered.)
• Mix together parsley, lemon zest and capers in a small bowl. Chop hard-cooked egg and set aside.
• Pour olive oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large cast-iron skillet (or use two pans to avoid crowding). Turn heat to medium high. When oil looks wavy, carefully place cutlets in pan and fry for 2 minutes, until golden. (Reduce heat if necessary.) Turn and cook for 2 minutes on other side, then remove and drain on paper towel. Season fried cutlets lightly with salt and pepper.
• Arrange cutlets on a warm platter. Sprinkle with parsley mixture, then with chopped egg. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

LEMONY PORK PICCATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Pound pork chops between 2 sheets waxed paper or plastic wrap until very thin, about 1/8 inch.
• Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Dredge both sides of each pork chop through flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter starts to sizzle. Add shallots and pork chops in 1 layer, working in batches if needed. Cook pork chops until golden brown and almost cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a baking dish and lightly tent with aluminum foil, reserving the shallots and browned bits of food in the skillet.
• Bake pork chops in the preheated oven until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Pour wine and chicken stock into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir lemon juice into sauce.
• Drizzle sauce over pork chops and top with parsley, lemon zest, and capers.

PORK CHOPS WITH CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper.
• In a skillet large enough to hold the chops in one layer, heat the vegetable oil. Add the chops and cook over medium-high heat for 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Turn and cook another 7 minutes or until done. Remove the chops, set aside and keep warm.
• Pour off the excess fat from the skillet. Add the onions and garlic. Cook and stir until wilted. Add the vinegar and reduce by half. Add the chicken broth, capers, mustard, tomato paste and sage. Cook and reduce by half.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and add any juices that may have accumulated around the pork chops. Swirl in the butter, check for seasoning.
• To serve, spoon the sauce over the meat and sprinkle with parsley.
