Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork loin chops
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Place the boneless pork loin chops between two sheets of parchment paper and pound them with a meat mallet to about 1/4 inch thickness.
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Season both sides of the pork chops with the spice mixture.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly.
In another shallow dish, combine almond flour and coconut flour.
Dip each seasoned pork chop into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Then dredge each pork chop in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the flour adheres well.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry each cutlet for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the fried pork cutlets to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
Serve the cutlets hot, with your choice of Whole30 compliant vegetables or salad.
