Braciole di Maiale al Latte

Since it is my turn to cook today, I thought I could share the recipes I am cooking.

This recipe is for pork chops cooked in milk. I usually substitute goat chops. It is very simple and the result is very tasty.

Ingredients

In a large skillet, heat the butter and oil until the butter foams. Add the chops, garlic, and sage. Sauté the chops over medium heat until brown on both sides, about 5 to 6 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add the milk. Stir to pick up the bits and pieces attached to the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for 12-14 minutes, turining the chops once during the cooking. If the milk evaporates completely during cooking, add a bit more.

Transfer the chops to a plate. Raise the heat and cook the sauce down until only a few tablespoons of thickened curds are left in the skillet. Off the heat, remove as much fat as possible. Return the chops to the skillet and return to the heat again. Cook briefly until the chops are well coated with the thick, browned milky sauce.

Lol… I was about to say “A Pakistani MAN cooking PORK chops? Has the world gone mad?!” It’s still funny that you cook though. Props.

Owl: Yeah I know, Pakistani men have a bad repute for cooking or doing any household work. But you see my wife is the income-earner, so it has to be a bit different at our home.

razib: All pigs are halal if they are slaughtered in the Islamic way. ;-)

Naw, it’s not that weird. My dad cooks mainly at my home simply cuz he likes his own cooking best.
