Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice pork into 8 thin cutlets. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork cutlets with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper; add to skillet and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Spoon the tomato sauce over the pork. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, sage, lemon zest, garlic, and remaining salt and pepper; sprinkle evenly over the tomato sauce. Roast until bubbling and browned, about 10 minutes.
