Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork cutlets
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 1 whole Lemon
Instructions
Place each pork cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Dip each pork cutlet first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and then press it into the flour mixture, coating both sides. Shake off any excess.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the coconut oil. Once hot, add the coated pork cutlets, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the schnitzels for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they're golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove the schnitzels from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzels.
