Pork Cutlets with Berry Sauce Recipe

  • Servings: 4

This dinner is special to me because I made it for my mom’s birthday one year, and it was a hit with her and the entire family. I wanted to share it with you! Crispy pork cutlets get a special twist this time—not your regular applesauce (which is delicious, but I wanted to switch it up for Mom). I made a huckleberry sauce, and it did all the right things when you took a bite. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family did!

To complete the meal, make with Potato Salad with Basil Vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Sauce

  • 2 ½-3 cups berries, fresh or frozen, I use Huckleberries, blueberries or red currants
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup red wine
  • 1/3 cup sherry or wine vinegar  

Pork Cutlets

  • 4 boneless pork loin chops, trimmed, 6-8 ounces each or, 2 pork tenderloins, trimmed
  • Salt and white pepper or fine black pepper
  • 1 cup AP flour
  • 1 teaspoon each ground ginger and thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • 4 eggs, beat with fork in shallow dish   
  • 1 ½ cups fine breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup panko
  • About 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grate it  
  • 2 tablespoons each fresh parsley and thyme, finely chopped
  • About 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
  • 4-5 tablespoons olive oil or innocuous oil such as canola

 

Directions

For sauce, combine all ingredients in a small pot and bring to low boil, reduce heat to keep at low rolling simmer and cook for 20 minutes to thicken and reduce.

 

Pound pork chops to about 3/8 inch thick or cut each tenderloin into 4 portions on a bit of a bias and pound with a mallet to form 8 thin even medallions or about the same thickness.

 

Season pork with salt and white pepper or fine black pepper.

 

Pour flour into a shallow dish and season with ginger, thyme and allspice.

 

Place beaten eggs in a shallow dish next to that and the breadcrumbs and panko seasoned with nutmeg, fresh herbs and zest in the third dish.    

 

Heat oil in a large shallow skillet over medium to just above medium heat.  When hot coat chops or medallions in flour egg and breadcrumb mixture and fry to golden 2-13 minutes on each side.  Drain on rack or paper towels and transfer on a foil lined baking sheet to a low oven to keep warm and crisp.  Keep warm in a low oven if not serving immediately.

 

Serve pork chops or crispy cutlets topped with sauce and the potato salad alongside.
