Milanese just means "in the style of Milan"
and refers to meat that has been pounded
that have been thinly sliced, dredged first
in egg and then in a mixture of bread crumbs
and grated parmesan cheese, and fried.
Although they're not traditional,
I like using panko (Japanese bread crumbs),
because they make a crunchier crust.
Ingredients:
2 large eggs
panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
finely grated Parmesan
6 boneless pork loin chops, pounded thin
6 lemon wedges
olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Coarsely crush the panko into a large shallow bowl.
Stir the cheese into the panko.
Lightly beat the eggs in another large shallow bowl.
Sprinkle the pork generously with salt and pepper.
Dip the pork, 1 piece at a time, in the egg,
allowing the excess to drip off,
then dredge the pork in the crumb mixture,
patting to coat completely.
Place the pork on a small baking sheet.
Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy large skillet
over medium-high heat. Add half of the pork
to the hot oil and cook until golden brown
and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer to paper towels to drain, then transfer
them to a clean baking sheet
and keep them warm in the oven.
Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil
to the skillet and fry the remaining pork.
Transfer the pork to plates
and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
