Ingredients

Cooking time: Approximately 15-20 minutes (excluding preparation time for tenderizing meat)

Ingredients:

For 4 people

4 slices of Pork Cutlet
150g of Gorgonzola Cheese
Butter or Olive Oil (as needed)
100ml of White Wine
An appropriate amount of Flour
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

How to make it:

1/ Optional Pre-Soaking for Tenderness: If you have time, place the pork in a container or a plastic bag with 1 teaspoon each of salt and sugar, and 4 tablespoons of water. Let it soak for at least 2 hours. This step helps tenderize the meat. For best results, you can do this the day before and refrigerate overnight.

2/ Pat Dry and Lightly Season: Remove the pork and pat it dry with kitchen paper or a clean towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

3/ Coat with Flour: Lightly coat both sides of the pork with flour. Shake off any excess.

4/ Pan-Fry and Deglaze: Heat butter or olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the pork slices and fry on both sides until golden. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan.

5/ Melt the Gorgonzola: Place slices of Gorgonzola cheese on top of the pork. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for about 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and creamy.

⭐️Our Go-To: A Glass of Chianti 🍷: In our home, Chianti is our go-to wine whenever we’re having Italian food—and it pairs wonderfully with this dish too. Its gentle acidity and earthy notes balance the creamy Gorgonzola sauce without overpowering the pork. If you’re a red wine lover like us, a glass of Chianti brings just the right touch of warmth and tradition to your plate😊.
