Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork cutlets
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Season the pork cutlets with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides. Set aside.
Wash the Brussels sprouts, trim the ends, and cut them in half lengthwise.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covering them loosely with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the Brussels sprouts. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the Brussels sprouts for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're tender and slightly caramelized.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the lemon juice and honey. Toss the Brussels sprouts to coat them evenly, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Return the pork cutlets to the skillet to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve the pork cutlets alongside the Brussels sprouts for a complete and delicious meal.
