PORK CUTLETS WITH ARUGULA SALAD AND SAUTéED TOMATOES
WHY IT'S LIGHT A very thin pork cutlet is a healthful main course meat, even after sautéing in olive oil; the secret is to only dredge in flour and skip the more traditional bread-crumb coatings. Fill out the plate with vegetables such as leafy greens and sautéed cherry tomatoes.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine lemon juice and 1 teaspoon oil. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
- Place pork on a work surface; to butterfly chops, slice each one in half horizontally, stopping before cutting all the way through. Open up like a book. Then, one at a time, place opened chops between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or the bottom of a small heavy pan, pound until an even 1/4 inch thickness. On a plate, combine flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dredge each cutlet in flour mixture to coat completely, then shake off excess.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add tomatoes, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove tomatoes.
- In same skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Add 2 cutlets; cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn over; cook until cooked through, about 30 seconds more. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and 2 cutlets.
- Add arugula to bowl with dressing; toss to coat. Divide tomatoes among plates; add 1 cutlet to each. Top pork with arugula and, if desired, Parmesan. Serve with lemon wedges.

PORK CHOP MILANESE WITH ARUGULA AND TEARDROP TOMATOES
Steps:
- 1 Remove the bones from the pork chops. Using a meat mallet, carefully pound the pork chops until they are uniformly 1/4 inch thick. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Dip each chop into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each chop in the bread crumbs and set on a plate.
- 2 In a 14- to 16-inch sauté pan, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium heat until just smoking. Add the butter and allow it to foam for 10 to 15 seconds. Place the chops in the pan and cook until light golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn the chops and cook on the other side until light golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Add more oil if necessary, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, to avoid scorching the breading.
- 3 In a large bowl, combine the arugula and tomatoes. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper and toss to coat the greens.
- 4 Place one pork chop on each of four warmed dinner plates. Divide the arugula salad evenly among the plates, place a lemon wedge on each plate, and serve immediately.
