Venetian-Style Pork Cutlet

By Leslie Blythe

After watching the Venice episode of Somebody Feed Phil where he goes to a restaurant called Trattoria Da Arturo that has been around since 1968 to have their famous fried pork chop, I decided to make it. The actual recipe for Venetian-Style Pork Cutlet is on the restaurant's website. It's basically a breaded pork cutlet that is doused in a lot of white wine vinegar at the end. It's just simply amazing. I have been to Venice many times and will definitely go to have it at Trattoria Da Arturo.

  • Prep: 10 mins
  • Cook: 15 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

4 pork cutlets

superfine flour

eggs

salt to taste

breadcrumbs

sunflower oil

1 glass of white vinegar

Directions

1Pound the cutlets until very thin. Dredge once in the flour. Dip it into a beaten egg with salt and then coat it twice with breadcrumbs.

2Place the sunflower oil over a high heat and bring to about 350° F, put the cutlet in the pan turn the heat down low. When the cutlet is golden brown, pour off oil, add a glass of white wine vinegar and allow it to evaporate, stirring constantly.

3Serve cutlet and cut it so as to let the vinegar evaporate for a few seconds.

I cooked these for the girlfriend last night and she couldn’t stop eating. I retired in March and have been educating myself to cook, never have before and I’m 61. I kind of get into it so I love these kinds of shows.

I just used white wine vinegar and vegetable oil and it worked very well.

Has anyone tried making the recipe without the Ponti white wine vinegar? I’ve been trying to find out where to buy it but I’m having little luck. Is it something that can be ordered? Also I’m curious about the sunflower oil. Has anyone tried using an alternative or does it have to be sunflower oil?

Made one to try don’t understand what the draw is. I will be doing these for my family (grown children) for Sunday lunch. Looking forward to their take on them.

They use the Ponti White Wine vinegar. Watch after they plate it you’ll briefly see it, they cut to Phil and go back to the plated pork chop and it’s a bit longer shot.

You can see it matches on the website with the white wine vinegar.

I think you are right. I have changed the recipe to white wine vinegar. The funny thing is this recipe is on the restaurant’s website.

My take after spending too much rime researching is that if you zoom in on the vinegar bottle you will see the brand….my vote is on the white wine vinegar btw!
I’m also not so sure about dipping i eggs and flour?

The recipe is correct in using white wine vinegar. Even though they say in the episode that It is plain white vinegar that is used for the dish you will see the bottle that It is poured from is an Italian brand vinegar named Ponti and that It says white wine vinegar on the bottle;)

Just cooked and ate the pork chops. Very delicate flavor, very good, not overpowering, wonderful actually, nothing like I was expecting, but could not stop eating them. Did 2 chops without the vinegar and they were bland needed a brown gravy. Next week will try different types of vinegar. This was a very educational experience as I am very unfamiliar concerning cooking with vinegar but not the door is open and we shall see.

You are probably right, but I got the recipe from their website. I think it’s best to use what you like. I will rewatch the episode as well. Thanks for the heads up!

One point hate to bring up but after rewatching that part of the episode to make sure, they actually used distilled white vinegar not white wine vinegar. We were wondering what the difference was thinking the distilled white would be to strong but to our amazement after smelling and tasting a vast a-ray of vinegars, the distilled white was the mildest of them all.
