Discover crispy pork chops coated with Panko and Parmesan, pan-fried to golden perfection for a flavorful and indulgent dish.
Quick Recipe: Crispy Pork with a Gourmet Touch
Here’s the perfect lunch! Or the perfect weeknight dinner — you decide. Save time with the delicious Fresh Mayonnaise from Maison Orphée. Lemon zest and fennel seeds bring a touch of freshness — always welcome in a lightly fried dish!
Note: You can also make this recipe with veal or chicken.
Why make this recipe?
- Easy and quick to prepare: in less than 30 minutes, you’ll have a restaurant-worthy dish.
- A classic with a decadent twist: mayonnaise in the coating replaces the eggs, adding tenderness and richness.
- Versatile and customizable: serve it with an arugula salad, pasta, grilled vegetables, or in a katsu-style sandwich.
Tips for a perfect recipe:
- Pound the chops evenly: the thinner the meat, the faster and more evenly it cooks.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: for perfect frying, cook the chops one at a time or in small batches to maintain the oil’s heat.
- Use sufficiently hot neutral oil: make sure the oil is at the right temperature (about 180°C/350°F) before frying, otherwise the chops will absorb too much fat.
Place a pork chop between two sheets of parchment paper. Pound it vigorously with a rolling pin until the meat is flattened and has doubled in surface area. Set aside.
In two separate bowls, prepare the coating for frying. In one bowl, combine the mayonnaise, fennel seeds, lemon zest, salt and pepper to taste. In the other bowl, combine the Panko, homemade breadcrumbs, Parmesan, thyme, a pinch of salt, and a little pepper. Set aside.
Coat each chop in the mayonnaise mixture, shaking off the excess. Then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture. Set aside.
Heat a large pan (cast iron works great) over medium-high heat. Add the neutral oil and let it heat up. Fry the chops for about 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
To serve, place a chop on a plate, top with arugula, Parmesan shavings, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon juice. SO good.
