Pork Milanese

Cultural Context

Pork Milanese, or Cotoletta alla Milanese, hails from Milan, Italy, where it is a beloved dish often served in trattorias. Traditionally made with veal, the dish celebrates the technique of breading and frying, creating a crispy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the tender meat inside. Today, variations using pork are popular, making it accessible and enjoyed worldwide, often accompanied by a squeeze of lemon and fresh herbs for brightness.

1

Place parchment paper on a flat surface and lay the pork chop on top.

2

Using a smooth meat mallet, pound the pork chop to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, ensuring to maintain a directional flow while pounding.

3

Check the thickness of the pork chop after pounding, and pound more if necessary to achieve uniform thickness.

4

Prepare a coating mixture with eggs and cream, ensuring it covers both sides of the pork chop.

5

Dredge the pork chop in the breadcrumb mixture, spooning breadcrumbs on top and pressing down with a fork to adhere evenly.

6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until very hot.

7

Carefully add the pork chop to the skillet, holding it by the bone and lowering it to avoid splashes.

8

Reduce the heat to medium after adding the pork chop to allow it to cook gently without burning.

9

Cook the pork chop until golden brown on one side, then carefully flip it using the bone as a handle.

10

Tilt the skillet slightly to ensure the oil seals the bone and cooks it evenly.

11

Once cooked, remove the pork chop from the skillet and prepare to plate it with a tomato salad and arugula salad dressed with salt, olive oil, and lemon juice.
