This super simple recipe is packed with flavor! Serve it on a plate or on ciabatta for a sandwich. It is so quick and easy, yet so flavorful. Good olive oil and a nice balsamic glaze will elevate it without adding any work!
Directions
INGREDIENTS
4 TVF boneless pork chops, butterflied and pounded to 1/8 inch with a meat mallet
1 TVF egg lightly scrambled
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup italian seasoned bread crumbs
salt/pepper
2 balls buratta or fresh mozarella
2 cups arugula
1 pint grape tomatoes
olive oil
balsamic vinegar/glaze (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Dredge pounded pork cutlets in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, making sure that breadcrumbs adhere to cutlet
- Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in heavy skillet and add pint of tomatoes. Salt generously. Cook stirring frequently until most of the tomatoes have ruptured and juice begins to thicken.
- In a separate pan, heat 3-4 tbsp olive oil and fry pork cutlets (you will probably have to do this in two batches). Flip once. This will probably take 3-5 min per side.
- Remove pork cutlets and top with a handful of arugula, tomatoes, and a torn half of ball of buratta or a few slices of fresh mozarella.
- Top this with a drizzle of good olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt/pepper.
- This can also be assembled on a hoagie bun or ciabatta for a sandwich.
