  • 1 scoop salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine

How To Make pork piccata

  • Step 1
    Place the pork pieces on a cutting board and cover them with plastic wrap or place them in a zipper storage bag. Pound the pieces to an even thickness of about 1/4 - 1/3 inch thick using a meat mallet.
  • Step 2
    Whisk the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the pork in the flour mixture.
  • Step 3
    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the pork until browned on both sides and cooked through. Plate the browned pork and cover loosely to keep warm. Carefully wipe the skillet clean.
  • Step 4
    Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the shallot until tender. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute while stirring.
  • Step 5
    Add the wine and reduce by half. Add the lemon juice and chicken broth and simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter, capers, and fresh basil or parsley.
  • Step 7
    Return the pork to the skillet. Drizzle the lemon butter wine sauce over the pork and serve.
