Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces veal cutlets
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by placing the veal cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the cutlets to about 1/4 inch thickness.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture until well blended.
In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until smooth and uniform.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Take each veal cutlet and dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded veal cutlets to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the cutlets immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh burst of flavor.
