Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork cutlets
• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork cutlets with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides. Set aside.

Step 2

Wash the Brussels sprouts, trim the ends, and cut them in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covering them loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the Brussels sprouts. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Cook the Brussels sprouts for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the lemon juice and honey. Toss the Brussels sprouts to coat them evenly, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Return the pork cutlets to the skillet to warm through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve the pork cutlets alongside the Brussels sprouts for a complete and delicious meal.
