Ingredients
- 1 pound pork tenderloin
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the pork tenderloin into 1/2 inch thick medallions. Place the medallions between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thin.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, whisk together the egg and coconut milk until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each pork medallion into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off, and then coat it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Press gently to adhere the coating.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Step 6
Working in batches, fry the pork medallions in the hot oil for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked pork to a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 crispy fried pork with a side of vegetables or salad.
