Pork Piccata with Tarragon and Rosemary

August 24, 2022 by Pam Leave a Comment

This Pork Piccata with Tarragon and Rosemary is tangy, totally melt in your mouth delicious and is ready in under 15 minutes.

Pork Piccata with Tarragon and Rosemary

One of my favorite dishes at Brio Tuscan Grille is Chicken Limone, which is basically Chicken Piccata. My version of this dish is  Lemon Chicken with Capers and I can’t seem to get enough of it. Lemons just make everything taste fresher. Some Piccata dishes use veal, but since I have a huge fan of pork in my house, especially pork chops, well I had to convert this dish to Pork Piccata with Tarragon and Rosemary.

In my Lemon Chicken with Capers, the chicken was perfect with its briney buttery lemon sauce all by itself. But I thought the pork needed an additional flavor. Maybe an herb that would compliment the lemon, the butter, the olive oil and those tangy capers. You can’t leave out the capers. They make the dish.

So as I thought about all those wonderful flavors of the Mediterranean, Rosemary came to mind first. It’s perfect with pork. In fact it’s an ingredient in Pork Tenderloin with Rosemary, Fennel and Sage. I knew I only needed a little because too much would overwhelm the dish. Then I thought about tarragon, which would be a great counter balance to the Rosemary. Unlike Fennel, which has a very pronounced licorice flavor, tarragon has a much milder slightly licorice flavor. So Tarragon it would be. And to complete it, Aunt Lou’s Special Seasoning from Culinary Spice Merchants would be perfect because it’s a rich spice blend with garlic.

Well, the the flavors came together beautifully. The Southern boy who adores his pork chops so much was totally happy. And the the best part about Pork Picatta with  Tarragon and Rosemary was how really easy and super fast it was to make.
