- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup capers
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
- Place the pork cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Dredge the pork cutlets in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

- Stir in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter until melted and the sauce has slightly thickened. Return the pork cutlets to the skillet, turning to coat in the sauce.
- Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Pork Scallopini!
Pork Scallopini is a classic Italian dish that features thinly sliced pork tenderloin, dredged in flour, and then sautéed to perfection. This dish has its roots in Italian cuisine, where it is often served with a flavorful pan sauce made with white wine, lemon juice, and capers. The dish has gained popularity in the United States, particularly in Italian-American restaurants, where it is often served with a side of pasta or vegetables. Chefs like Lidia Bastianich and Mario Batali have popularized this dish, and it can be found on the menus of many upscale Italian eateries. For the best version of this dish, look for a restaurant that uses high-quality pork and expertly balances the flavors of the pan sauce.
