Pork Piccata

"This recipe came from a Time-Life recipe book and originally called for veal; however, since veal is so expensive and difficult to come by, I use pork with the same very tasty results. I like to serve this with crusty French bread and a green salad."

  1. I rated this recipe a 5 star. I too love Veal Piccata and find that veal is too expensive. I didn't have any pork chops but I did use pork lion instead. I doubled the recipe for leftovers and at the end of the meal my leftovers were gone. My 4 year son had four slices. This was easy make and the taste was awesome.
     
  2. Maybe it was user error but the coating was soggy, and it just wasnt what my husband and I were expecting.

Born in Aroostook County, Maine. Have lived in New York City, Lake Placid, NY, San Diego, CA, St. Petersburg, FL, Santa Rosa, CA and am now living in Tucson, AZ. I am now retired and love to crochet. I'm always looking for new, easy recipes. My favorite cookbook is the Internet, especially Recipezaar. One of my pet peeves? People who don't run a spell check on items they have submitted or just don't edit their items. My grandson just returned from Afghanistan after having been there for a year. He also spent a year in Iraq. I'm very proud of my handsome grandson and my 2 beautiful great-granddaughters.
