The reason I put the sauce on the plate instead of on top of the meat is because you still get sauce with each bite but the chop remains crunchy instead of soggy like traditional parms tend to get. To all you brother and sister firefighters out there this is a great firehouse meal.

How To Make pork-chop parmesan with prosciutto crumble

  • If you can't find San Marzano tomatoes you can use your favorite 28 ounce can of tomatoes that are found in all supermarkets.
    1
    Tomato sauce In a small stockpot over medium/low heat put: olive oil, shallot and cook until soft. Add: garlic, crushed red pepper and cook for two minutes then add the remaining ingredients with the exception of the butter and basil. Bring to a low boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, for thirty-five minutes or until it reaches desired thickness. Shut heat and stir in butter one tablespoon at a time. Once butter is incorporated, stir in basil, cover and set aside.
  • Cook prosciutto until crispy being careful not to burn
    2
    Prosciutto crumble Put oil in a 10 inch frying pan over medium heat. While oil is heating cut prosciutto into thin strips. Once oil is hot cook the Prosciutto until crispy, place on a paper towel lined plate and set aside.

    For the pork chop seasoning Mix all dry ingredients together and set aside.
  • I like to bread my chops then if I have time let them sit for 20 minutes because it makes the bread crumbs stay on better during frying.

    For the pork chop Pound pork-chops until they are 1/8th inch thick. Sprinkle each side with pork chop seasoning. In three separate bowls put: flour, eggs and milk whisked together, both types of breadcrumbs and Romano cheese mixed well. Dredge each chop in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Set aside. In the same frying pan the Prosciutto was cooked in, over medium heat, cook two pork chops at a time. Cook until brown on each side. Put cooked pork-chops on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Divide cheese evenly between the four pork-chops and cover each. Set broiler on high and place sheet pan under the flame. Cook until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Remove from broiler and sprinkle with parsley, basil and fried prosciutto.
  • The reason why I put the sauce on the plate, unlike traditional parm where it's put on top of the meat, is because you still get the flavor of the sauce and I'm able to retain the crunch of the coating instead of it getting soggy when the sauce is on top

    To assemble Place a ladle full of tomato sauce on the plate and then sit the pork-chop on top. Put a portion of pasta on the plate and serve.
