Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless pork chops
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons ghee
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Pound the boneless pork chops between two pieces of plastic wrap using a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and add the coconut flour, mixing until smooth and thickened slightly. The coconut flour will help the egg mixture adhere better to the pork.
Step 4
Dip each piece of pork into the beaten egg mixture; allow the excess to drip off, then press the pork into the almond flour mixture, ensuring it is well-coated on both sides. Repeat with all pieces.
Step 5
Heat the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat until hot.
Step 6
Add the coated pork, cooking in batches if necessary, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each piece for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the schnitzels hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
