Duroc Pork Milanese Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Salsa Criolla

   In a medium bowl, combine the diced red onion, diced tomato, and diced green bell pepper. Add chopped fresh cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

2. 2

   Prepare the Pork Chops

   Pat the Duroc pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Breading the Pork Chops

   Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Cooking the Pork Chops

   In a large skillet, heat enough oil over medium-high heat to cover the bottom. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

5. 5

   Broil the Provolone Cheese

   Preheat the broiler. Place the cooked pork chops on a baking sheet, top each with a slice of provolone cheese, and broil for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. 6

   Assemble the Dish

   On a serving plate, place a bed of arugula, top with the broiled pork chop, and generously spoon the salsa criolla over the top. Serve immediately.
