Lemon-Caper Pork
with Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Roasted Broccoli
25 MIN
4 Servings
From the Test Kitchen
This dish gets classic Italian flair from our take on piccata sauce: a simple combination of butter, briny capers, and fresh lemon juice. It makes for a deliciously bright accent for savory pork and a side of garlicky mashed potatoes.

instructions
1
Prepare & roast the broccoli
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem; cut the broccoli into small florets. Place on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer. Roast 14 to 16 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
2
Prepare the remaining ingredients
Meanwhile, medium dice the potatoes. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Halve the lemon crosswise; squeeze the juice into a bowl, straining out the seeds.
3
Cook & mash the potatoes
Add the diced potatoes and half the chopped garlic to the pot of boiling water and cook 17 to 19 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Add the mascarpone. Using a fork or potato masher, mash to your desired consistency.
4
Cook the pork
Meanwhile, pat the pork dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned pork. Cook 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium (the center may still be slightly pink), or until browned and cooked to your desired degree of doneness.* Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes.
*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for pork.
5
Make the sauce & serve your dish
To the pan of reserved fond, add the capers and remaining chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until slightly softened. Add the butter and lemon juice (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently and scraping up any fond, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and the butter is melted. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Slice the rested pork crosswise. Serve the sliced pork with the mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli. Top the pork with the sauce. Garnish the broccoli with the parmesan. Enjoy!
