• When asked what she serves her family for a quick meal,
TV chef Sara Moulton answered instantly: 'Pork scaloppine with
fresh sauteed tomatoes and garlic accompanied by roasted
broccoli and sweet potatoes.'
• Moulton is the executive chef for Gourmet magazine and
host of the show schedule, she still finds time to sit down to
dinner with her family.
• The pork dish takes about 5 minutes to cook. The broccoli
and sweet potatoes take about 20 minutes to roast, a process
that intensifies the vegetables' flavor. Start them first and then
prepare the rest of the meal. Or, for a quicker side dish, place
them in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave on high
for 5 minutes.
