Yield Serves 2.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lemon
1 medium shallot
4 dried figs (preferably Calimyrna)
two 1 1/4-inch-thick boneless pork loin chops (about 3/4 pound)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Garnish: lemon slices

Steps:

  • With a vegetable peeler cut 3 lengthwise strips of zest from lemon and cut strips crosswise into enough very thin slices to measure 1 packed teaspoon. Squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from lemon. Mince shallot and cut figs into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  • Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. In a skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté pork until browned, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer pork to a plate and in fat remaining in skillet cook shallot and gingerroot, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add pork, water, wine, zest, lemon juice, and figs and simmer, covered, 10 minutes, or until pork is just cooked through.
  • Transfer pork to 2 plates and if fig mixture is too liquid boil until reduced to a sauce-like consistency, about 1 minute. Whisk butter into fig mixture until incorporated.
  • Garnish pork with compote and serve with lemon slices.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 pork chops
½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons sliced shallots
⅓ cup dry white wine
¼ cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon capers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Pound pork chops between 2 sheets waxed paper or plastic wrap until very thin, about 1/8 inch.
  • Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Dredge both sides of each pork chop through flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter starts to sizzle. Add shallots and pork chops in 1 layer, working in batches if needed. Cook pork chops until golden brown and almost cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a baking dish and lightly tent with aluminum foil, reserving the shallots and browned bits of food in the skillet.
  • Bake pork chops in the preheated oven until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Pour wine and chicken stock into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir lemon juice into sauce.
  • Drizzle sauce over pork chops and top with parsley, lemon zest, and capers.
