Pork Cutlets With Arugula Salad And Sauteed Tomatoes Recipes

PORK CUTLETS WITH ARUGULA SALAD AND SAUTEED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Make dressing: In a large bowl, combine lemon juice and 1 teaspoon oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Place chops on a work surface; on the side without fat, cut each chop in half horizontally, opening it like a book but stopping before cutting all the way through. Then, one at a time, place opened chops between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or the bottom of a small heavy pan, pound until 1/4 inch thick. On a plate, combine flour, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat each cutlet with flour mixture, shaking off excess. Set aside.
• In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add tomatoes, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove tomatoes; set aside.
• In same skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add 1 cutlet; cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn over; cook until opaque throughout, about 30 seconds more. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 3 cutlets, using 1 teaspoon oil for each.
• Add arugula to bowl with dressing; toss. Place tomatoes and 1 cutlet on each plate along with lemon wedges. Top pork with arugula and, if desired, Parmesan.

PORK CHOPS WITH CARAMELIZED APPLES AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Flavor Secrets: To prepare a brine, combine 1 cup water, 1/4 cup kosher salt, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Bring to a boil for 1 minute to dissolve the salt and sugar. Remove from the heat and cool. Stir in 3 cups cold water. Submerge the meat in the brine for at least 4 hours.
• 1. For maximum juiciness, brine the pork chops for 4 hours if you can (see Flavor Secrets, above). Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
• 2. In a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Heat the oil until it just starts to haze. Add the pork chops and saute until golden on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Closely monitor the heat so the pork chops get a deep golden brown but so the bits at the bottom of the pan don't burn-they are the flavor foundation for your sauce. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
• 3. Add the shallots, apples, and garlic to the same pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until golden. Use tongs to scrape the bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the brandy and let boil, reducing the liquid by half. Add the apple juice and rosemary, and boil for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and boil (reduce) until you have a nice saucy consistency. Add the butter. Turn off the heat and stir just until the butter is melted. Stir in the arugula.
• 4. Place each pork chop on a plate. Pour the sauce with the arugula over the top.

BREADED PORK CHOPS WITH MUSHROOM-ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss mushrooms with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper and roast 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse bread until coarse crumbs form. Toss crumbs with 1 tablespoon oil and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Spread mustard on one side of each pork chop. Press into crumbs; transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, crumb side up. Bake until pork is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Toss together mushrooms, arugula, 2 teaspoons oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve alongside pork with lemon wedges.

PORK CHOP MILANESE WITH ARUGULA AND TEARDROP TOMATOES

Steps:

• 1 Remove the bones from the pork chops. Using a meat mallet, carefully pound the pork chops until they are uniformly 1/4 inch thick. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Dip each chop into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each chop in the bread crumbs and set on a plate.
• 2 In a 14- to 16-inch sauté pan, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium heat until just smoking. Add the butter and allow it to foam for 10 to 15 seconds. Place the chops in the pan and cook until light golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn the chops and cook on the other side until light golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Add more oil if necessary, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, to avoid scorching the breading.
• 3 In a large bowl, combine the arugula and tomatoes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper and toss to coat the greens.
• 4 Place one pork chop on each of four warmed dinner plates. Divide the arugula salad evenly among the plates, place a lemon wedge on each plate, and serve immediately.

GRILLED PORK WITH ARUGULA AND TOMATO SALAD

• Off heat, coat a grill rack or stove top grill pan with cooking spray; preheat to medium-high heat. Grill pork until cooked through, flipping once, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine arugula, tomatoes, remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, vinegar, oil and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; toss to combine. Serve pork with salad on top. Yields 2 pieces of pork and about 2 1/4 cups of salad per serving.
