Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless pork loin, thinly sliced into cutlets
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cups dry white wine
• 0.5 cups chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
• 1 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained

Directions

Step 1

Place each pork loin cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound them using a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter melts and starts to foam, add half of the pork cutlets. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil, butter, and pork cutlets.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Add the chicken stock, lemon juice, fresh parsley, thyme, and capers to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the mixture cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked pork cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer gently in the sauce for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 8

Adjust seasoning to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve the pork scaloppine hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Pair with sautéed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side of pasta for a complete meal.
