Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork cutlets
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
Instructions
Begin by placing the pork cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the cutlets to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a breadcrumb is dropped in.
Dip each pork cutlet into the beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off, then dredge the cutlet in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat both sides.
Carefully place the breaded cutlets in the hot skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the Paleo Breaded Pork Cutlets immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. They're perfect with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
