Pork Scaloppine with Peas

Pork scaloppine with peas is a simple and delicious dish, ideal for lunch or dinner. I will guide you step by step in the preparation.

Ingredients

• 4 slices of pork loin about 1 cm thick
• Flour, as much as needed for dusting the scaloppine
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 30 g of butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 glass of white wine
• 150-200 g of peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1 small onion or shallot, finely chopped
• Meat or vegetable broth, as needed

Preparation

1. Begin by lightly flouring the slices of pork loin. This will help to create a delicious golden crust during cooking.
2. In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted and begins to sizzle, add the floured scaloppine.
3. Brown the scaloppine on both sides. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
4. Deglaze with white wine and allow the alcohol to evaporate on a lively heat for a few minutes.
5. Add the chopped onion or shallot and sauté with the scaloppine until it becomes translucent.
6. Add the peas to the pan and mix well with the scaloppine.
7. Pour in some hot broth, just enough to prevent the sauce from drying out too much, lower the heat and cover with a lid.
8. Cook for about 10-15 minutes. If the peas are fresh, they may need a few more minutes to soften.
9. Check occasionally, and add more broth if necessary.
10. Once the scaloppine are tender and the peas are cooked, adjust the salt and pepper if necessary.
11. Serve the scaloppine hot with their sauce and peas.

Curiosity

Scaloppine are a classic of Italian cuisine and can be prepared with various types of meat and sauces. The addition of peas not only brings color and flavor to the dish but also provides a pleasant texture. As an alternative to broth, for a more rustic variant, you can also use the cooking water of the peas if they are fresh.
