Pork Chop Milanese with Arugula and Teardrop Tomatoes
- 4 center-cut pork chops, 1 inch thick
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup fresh bread crumbs, lightly toasted
- 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 bunch of arugula, stems removed
- 1/2 pound teardrop tomatoes, halved lenghtwise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges, seeds removed
- 1 Remove the bones from the pork chops.
- Using a meat mallet, carefully pound the pork chops until they are uniformly 1/4 inch thick.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
- Dip each chop into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
- Dredge each chop in the bread crumbs and set on a plate.
- 2 In a 14- to 16-inch saute pan, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium heat until just smoking.
- Add the butter and allow it to foam for 10 to 15 seconds.
- Place the chops in the pan and cook until light golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes.
- Using tongs, carefully turn the chops and cook on the other side until light golden brown, about 5 more minutes.
- Add more oil if necessary, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, to avoid scorching the breading.
- 3 In a large bowl, combine the arugula and tomatoes.
- Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper and toss to coat the greens.
- 4 Place one pork chop on each of four warmed dinner plates.
