Parmesan Pork With Sauce
Ingredients
1 lemon (for zest and juice, rinsed)
5-6 sprigs fresh Italian parsley (rinsed)
1 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 egg whites (or 1/4 cup egg white substitute)
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
8-10 fresh sage leaves (rinsed)
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 packet garlic/herb sauce mix (about 1 1/2 oz)
Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Peel several strips of lemon peel, without any white pith, with zester (or vegetable peeler). Chop finely for zest (1 tablespoon); place in shallow bowl. Squeeze juice of lemon into second shallow bowl. Chop parsley finely; add to lemon zest and stir in panko, Parmesan cheese, salt, ground sage, and pepper until well blended.
- Add egg whites and cornstarch to lemon juice; beat vigorously with fork until well blended. Dip pork into egg mixture (allowing excess to drip off). Roll in bread crumb mixture; press with fingertips to evenly coat. Place in shallow baking pan (wash hands); bake 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature of pork reaches 160°F (for medium). Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. Let pork stand 5 minutes before slicing.
- During last ten minutes of pork bake time, prepare sauce. Chop sage leaves finely (1 tablespoon); set aside. Place in small saucepan, milk, butter, and dry sauce mix; bring to a boil on medium, whisking until blended.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in fresh sage; cook 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, or until sauce thickens. Slice pork and serve with sauce.
