Limoncello Pork Loin

4 Lbs. Whole Pork Loin
Flour
Salt & Pepper
3 Tbs. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 Cup Unsalted butter
1 Cup Limoncello
3 Tbs. Minced Garlic
1/3 Cup Thinly Sliced Pepperoncini
1 Lemon Thinly Sliced

Cut loin into ½ inch slices.  Pound each piece flat into 1/4 inch thick.

Season each piece with salt and pepper.  Dredge in flour, set aside.

Heat olive oil in large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Do not allow to smoke.
Add pork pieces one at a time. Saute in batches until each piece is light golden brown on each side. About 2 minutes per side. Set pieces aside.

Reduce pan heat and melt butter.  Add Limoncello carefully as it will steam high for a few seconds.  Simmer for 2 minutes.  Add pork back to pan, overlapping if needed.

Increase heat to medium low, sprinkle in garlic and cover pan to simmer 5 minutes.

Turn pieces.  Add 6 lemon slices in between pork pieces and layer top with pepperoncini slices.  Cover and simmer for 3 more minutes.

Serve on platter with all remaining sauce drizzled over pork. Garnish with remaining lemon slices.

Serves 8
