Crunchy coating: check. Delicious cheese in the coating: check. A gorgeous spring salad of arugula and cherry tomatoes: check.
Get ready to transport your taste buds to Italy with this twist on the Italian classic Cotoletta alla Milanese! Traditionally served with breaded veal cutlet, this is one of the most popular dishes of Northern Italian cuisine and dates all the way back to 1134!
With this recipe, we traded the veal for panko-breaded, bone-in pork and serve over a crisp arugula salad. What more could you want for a quick weeknight meal than this juicy pork chop enveloped in layers of flavor? All you need is an excellent full-bodied red wine, and this will be the meal of your dreams.

The knife arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Not only is the knife well balance and very sharp, it is also beautiful. I'll be getting all my knives at F.N. Sharp in the future!
