Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 lb (0.5 kg) pork loin centre cut chops or fast fry chops, boneless, well-trimmed
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water
- 1 cup (250 mL) seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) butter
- Canola oil for frying
- 1 cup (250 mL) store-bought pasta sauce, warmed
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
- Hot cooked pasta or gnocchi for serving
- Freshly chopped Italian parsley for garnish
Method
- Place chops between sheets of waxed or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet, rolling pin or heavy pan, pound chops until 1/4-inch thick.
- Set up 3 plates side by side. Place flour on first plate. On second plate, whisk together egg and water. Place bread crumbs on third plate.
- Dust chops with flour, dip into egg mixture, then coat with bread crumbs.
- Transfer to a rack and allow crumbs to dry, about 15 minutes.
- In a large, non-stick fry pan, heat butter and a small amount of oil over medium-high heat.
- Pan-fry chops until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side.
- When both sides are golden brown, remove chops from pan onto a clean plate.
- Carefully wipe pan with a wad of paper towels. Reduce heat to low and return pan to element.
- Return chops to pan, gently pour warmed pasta sauce over chops and sprinkle with grated cheese. Cover and heat for 2-3 minutes or until cheese melts and sauce is hot.
- Serve with pasta or gnocchi and garnish with chopped parsley.
