Content: Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Ingredients
4 serving-size pork loin chops, cut roughly ½ inch thick (roughly 1 - 1 1/2 lbs total)
Salt and pepper
4 Tbsp butter
Peanut oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
1/2 c unbleached all-purpose flour
1 c plain breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten lightly
Lemon slices and fresh parsley (to serve)
Instructions
Lightly salt and pepper the pork cutlets. Place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to 1/8 inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Set the cutlets aside. Melt 2 Tbsp of butter in a medium sauté pan and add enough oil to fill the pan to 1/8 inch. Heat the oil and butter over high heat. Toss a little breading into the hot oil, if it crisps up nicely, but doesn’t burn, then you know your oil is ready. Place flour and breadcrumbs each in their own shallow dish. Place the beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip a pounded cutlet in flour, covering it completely. Then, dip the cutlet in the beaten eggs, moistening it entirely.
