Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork cutlets
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 1 whole Lemon

Directions

Step 1

Place each pork cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard until well combined.

Step 4

Dip each pork cutlet first into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and then press it into the flour mixture, coating both sides. Shake off any excess.

Step 5

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the coconut oil. Once hot, add the coated pork cutlets, taking care not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Cook the schnitzels for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they're golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Step 7

Remove the schnitzels from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzels.
