Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 clove Garlic clove
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.25 cup Fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the pork cutlets with ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge the cutlets lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter.

Step 4

Once the butter has melted and starts to foam, add the pork cutlets in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet. Mince the garlic clove and sauté it in the skillet for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet with the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Step 7

Add the orange juice, lime juice, and honey to the skillet. Stir well and simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or honey if necessary.

Step 9

Return the pork cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let them warm through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer the pork cutlets to plates and spoon more of the citrus sauce over each serving.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
