This is an amazing and tasty pork dish. It can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make it. I've changed it up a bit to make it much simpler and less time consuming. As well, I adjusted the sauce in order to thicken it up a bit, yet keep the rich buttery lemony flavor. I like to serve this with steamed carrots and pork stuffing or baked potatoes.

Ingredients For pork scallopini with lemon butter, caper sauce

  • 1 1/2 lb
    boneless thin centercut pork chops
  • 2 Tbsp
    capers
  • 1/3 c
    white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp
    lemon juice, fresh
  • 1/4 c
    oil (or enough to make a puddle in the bottom of your frying skillet.)
  • 2 Tbsp
    butter
  • 1/2 c
    plus 1 t. all purpose flour
  • to taste
    salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp
    fresh parsley, chopped fine (optional)

How To Make pork scallopini with lemon butter, caper sauce

  • 1
    Season pork with salt and pepper. (or any of your favorite seasonings to taste)
  • 2
    Dredge in 1/2 c. flour. (Reserving the other 1 T. for the sauce, later)
  • 3
    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
  • 4
    Cook the pork chops 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer to a warm plate. (Do not cover. This will cause the breading to get soft). I heat my oven and then shut it down so that it is slightly warm and place the plate of pork chops in the oven.
  • 5
    Drain excess oil from skillet, except for approximately 1/2 tablespoon.
  • 6
    Replace pan back on the stove top and add 1 T. butter and 1 T. flour to the reserved oil in pan. Stir until combined.
  • 7
    Add the white wine and lemon juice, stirring constantly. Cook, while stirring, until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • 8
    Add the capers and the remaining tablespoon of butter, stirring slowly to incorporate.
  • 9
    Serve with the sauce over the chops or on the side. It's all a matter of preference. (I like mine over my chops. D.H. likes his on the side.)
  • 10
    Top with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for color.
