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

Remove the bones from thin cut bone-in pork loin chops and pound them to a quarter-inch thick.

2

Put the bones in a bag, label it, and freeze for future use.

3

In a bowl, mix bread crumbs, freshly grated pecorino locatelli cheese, fresh black pepper, and fresh chopped parsley with hands.

4

In another dish, crack an egg and season it with salt and pepper, then beat it.

5

Coat the pork chops in the egg mixture, ensuring to use one hand to keep the other free of bread crumbs.

6

Coat the pork chops in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere, and double bread them by dragging through the egg again.

7

Let the coated pork chops sit for a few minutes while heating grapeseed oil in a skillet until shimmering, indicated by gentle waves.

8

Add the pork cutlets to the skillet and let them cook until the edges start to get golden, turning them only once.

9

Slice great tomatoes in half and prepare watercress, seasoning it with salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

10

Place the cooked cutlets on a rack to drain excess oil, avoiding sogginess.

11

Top the cutlet with seasoned watercress, sprinkle the tomatoes on top, and add a wedge of lemon to squeeze before eating.
