Ingredients
- 1 lb pork loin
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.25 cup tapioca starch
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the pork loin into thin cutlets, about 1/4 inch thick, and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to create the dry coating mixture.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs together with the coconut milk until well combined to create the wet mixture.
Step 4
Dip each pork cutlet into the wet mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 5
Press the cutlet into the dry mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Repeat for all cutlets.
Step 6
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring the oil reaches about 350°F.
Step 7
Carefully place the pork cutlets into the hot oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried pork warm, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon.
