Get ready to sink your teeth into the most divine Italian dish – Pork Scallopini!

This classic Italian recipe is a game-changer, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. Imagine tender pork chops pounded thin, simmered in a rich and creamy wine sauce, infused with the brightness of lemon, the savory flavor of capers, and the indulgence of butter. Yes, it’s a match made in heaven!

First, let’s start with the prep work. Place your pork chops between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound them to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Sprinkle both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Don’t be shy; you want that flavor to shine through!

Next, dredge the seasoned cutlets in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high, adding 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the butter foam subsides, add 2 pork cutlets and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the cutlets to a large plate and wipe out the skillet. Repeat the process with the remaining 2 cutlets.

Now, it’s time to create the sauce. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium, adding 1/4 cup of finely chopped shallot and 1 large garlic clove, thinly sliced. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and the garlic starts to brown, about 1 minute. Add 1/3 cup of dry white wine, cooking until almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Then, add 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 1 small lemon, thinly sliced and seeded. Bring to a boil, cooking until the mixture is reduced by half, about 3-4 minutes.
