A great way to serve the "other white meat" - Pork Scallopini
The other day I found something really great in the pork section of the meat department. The package was marked Pork Scallopini and it contained beautiful ¼ inch thick slices of pork loin. They were just gorgeous! I had never thought of pork scallopini. When I hear the word "scallopini", veal is the meat that comes to mind. The meat was beautifully cut and the perfect thickness but it would be easy enough to have butterflied and pounded a pork chop to the proper thickness with my rolling pin. I served it with fettuccine and some fresh steamed asparagus and carrots. Supper was a real hit with the family-clean plates and no leftovers!

I think it's great that you used the words "the other white meat" in your title. We have a family joke because I can't tell the difference between chicken and pork unless the pork chop has the bone in it and looks exactly like a pork chop! Thanks for sharing a great recipe with #SmallVictoriesSundayLinkup 7/19/15
