Creamy Caper and Lemon Sauce:

2/3 cup mascarpone cheese
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup capers, drained and chopped
1 lemon, zested
1 tablespoon fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Pork Milanese:

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 thin-cut pork chops

For the Creamy Caper and Lemon Sauce: Combine the mascarpone and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Slowly add the milk, stirring as you go, until all the milk is incorporated. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir to combine. Set aside.

For the Pork Milanese: Combine the flour and the 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper in a shallow dish and stir together. Crack the eggs into another shallow dish and beat until combined. In a third shallow bowl, place the breadcrumbs. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Dip the pork, 1at a time first in the flour, then the eggs, then the bread crumbs. Warm the vegetable in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot place the breaded pork in the pan. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.

pork is pork
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The pork wasn't anything to woo over but the lemon caper sauce, that was good. This was simple to make and my picky daughter... even like it. I will make this again.Read more

Milanese w/o sauce
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't make the sauce, but the pork chops were great! I definitely want to make the sauce next time. Perhaps I'll update... this review when I do eventually try it.Read more

Not a dipping sauce
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Some reviewers call the sauce a "dipping" sauce; Giada did not use the sauce for dipping. One bowl of sauce for everyone to... dip in --- double dippers --- awful. On the show her guests put the sauce on top of the chop, which is what my guests did.Read more

Pork Substitution
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

To Amber from Sunnyvale, CA.....while I haven't made this recipe, it sounds really good. Since you don't like pork, why not... try it with veal? That would be a winner I think. Also, to those posters who recommended substitutes for the marscapone, thank you.Read more

Would be 5 stars, had I liked pork chops.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I suppose this was good. My family loved it. I have just decided that I really don't like pork chops. I have tried and... tried and tried. I just don't. Otherwise, this was a good recipe. Easy enough to make. I did take the advice offered regarding the sauce and added some lemon juice as well as some dijon. It was pretty tasty. I would recommend it if you like pork chops. Haha!Read more

Good.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I am a Giada recipe fan. Her food is fast, fresh and easy to prepare. In the world of Giada this was good--not great--but... good. As always, this was easy to prepare and the clean-up was relatively minimal (though anytime I bread something it gets a little messy.) I was worried that the dipping sauce would be a little heavy but it wasn't. I wouldn't change a thing and my family liked the meal. (The kids liked the novalty of dipping their meat in a tasty sauce which added to the 'like factor.') We had pesto pasta as a side and it worked just fine. Next time I might do traditional potatoes (boiled or mashed) and brocoli on the side, as I think they would have complimented the meal just a little better. Read more
