I posted this years ago, but, @sueinsf, with your new Blood Orange olive oil, I thought you may want to see this.

Pork Cutlets with Orange Gremolata
Cooking Light | March 2014; pg. 128

Make sure to grate the rind before juicing the orange. You can sub chicken or a firm, white fish for the pork. For a quick side: combine 1½ cups cooked orzo with 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 2 sliced green onions, and 2 ounces dried cranberries.

Yield: Serves 4 (serving size: 3 ounces pork and 2 Tablespoons sauce)
Hands-on:19 Minutes Total:19 Minutes

2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 12 thin slices
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2/3 cup fresh orange juice (about 2 medium oranges)
1/3 cup water
2 Tablespoons orange marmalade
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
½ teaspoon minced fresh garlic

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place flour in a shallow dish. Sprinkle pork with ½ teaspoon salt; dredge pork in flour. Add 2 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add 6 pork slices to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned and done. Place cooked pork on a platter; keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and remaining 6 pork slices.

Add orange juice, 1/3 cup water, marmalade, and vinegar to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook 3 minutes or until liquid is reduced to ½ cup. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.

Place parsley, orange rind, and garlic in a small bowl; stir with a fork to combine. Spoon orange juice mixture over pork; sprinkle evenly with orange rind mixture.

Mrs. G's Notes: Served with roasted asparagus and Pinot Grigio.

Thanks @IamMrsG. I usually have lemons in the house and not oranges -- wonder if I could sub that and maybe honey for the marmalade?? When I get the Gremolata oil that will have lemon, parsley and garlic, so might pair well too. I should probably try this as is before making changes though...lol

@sueinsf I've wondered myself about substituting lemon for the orange juice. I think the way to go would be with Meyer Lemons, which as a cross between lemon and mandarin orange, are sweeter. Or, if I used regular lemons, I'd probably stick with the orange marmalade.

If you try the switch, I'd be interested in your opinion.

@RespectLife Just got my delivery today, so I'll have to think about how I want to use it. I also just got a few spice blends I want to try or use along with one of the oils in a marinade. But I also got a free box from Factor, so probably not going to be cooking as much this week (then again, I make fairly simple dishes for myself). I definitely want to try the Blood Orange oil in salad -- possibly with the Lemon balsamic.

@momtochloe It's good to hear from you and to learn you liked the dish. Your menu was a great Spring dinner, and one I can image with a good presentation.

Thanks for getting in touch...it's been a while. Stay well!
