Ingredients
- 1 lb (500 g) pork cutlets (or boneless pork loin chops, pounded to scant 1/2-inch/1 cm thickness)
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) fennel seeds
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) tomato sauce
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
- Extra-virgin olive oil, pepper and salt
Preparation
Line large rimmed baking sheet with foil, then grease. Lay cutlets on sheet in single layer and brush with 1 tbsp (15 mL) oil. Sprinkle with ΒΌ tsp (1 mL) pepper and pinch salt; set aside.
In skillet, toast fennel seeds over medium heat, shaking pan, until fragrant, 2 minutes. Using mortar and pestle, crush finely (or crush using side of knife on cutting board). Stir into tomato sauce.
Broil cutlets until just turning golden, about 3 minutes. Turn and broil for 2 minutes. Spoon tomato sauce over cutlets and sprinkle with Parmesan, then provolone. Broil until cheese is bubbly and turning golden and cutlets are no longer pink inside, about 1 minute.
