Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork loin
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.25 cup tapioca starch
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Slice the pork loin into thin cutlets, about 1/4 inch thick, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to create the dry coating mixture.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs together with the coconut milk until well combined to create the wet mixture.
Dip each pork cutlet into the wet mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Press the cutlet into the dry mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Repeat for all cutlets.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring the oil reaches about 350°F.
Carefully place the pork cutlets into the hot oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown.
Remove cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried pork warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon.
