Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pork cutlets
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing the pork cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the cutlets to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Step 4
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a breadcrumb is dropped in.
Step 5
Dip each pork cutlet into the beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off, then dredge the cutlet in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to coat both sides.
Step 6
Carefully place the breaded cutlets in the hot skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Cook each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 8
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Paleo Breaded Pork Cutlets immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. They're perfect with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple salad.
