Pork Milanese
Posted on | September 30, 2009 | 2 Comments
This is my take on Giada’s Pork Milanese (breaded porkchops with Parmesan cheese).

I had stale bread which I used to make breadcrumbs. (I just toasted the bread in the oven for a few minutes and pulsed it in my food processor until it resembled coarse breadcrumbs.) I mixed the breadcrumbs with a combination of freshly grated Parmesan and Asiago cheeses. (Love that combination!) Then, after I seasoned the pounded porkchops with salt and pepper, I dipped each one first in flour, then in egg, then in the breadcrumb mixture.
After frying them in a butter/vegetable oil mixture, I sprinkled the chops with lemon zest and fresh thyme and oregano.
Now, my family is multicultural and this dish is perfect in satisfying everybody’s palates. The way I served it, I call the meeting of three cultures. The dish is Italian and I served it two ways – as a sandwich (American-style) for Troy and with rice and roasted vegetables (kinda Filipino-style) for the rest of the family.

The dish looks good. Giada is one of my faves in food network. I’ll try that recipe here in NYC. Unfortunately Ivy who’s a vegetarian, won’t be able to taste it. Hope you’ll post more new recipe which I could experiment on.
