Pork cutlets that are flattened, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried until the exterior is golden.

Ingredients

Meat

• 4 pork loin chops
• 5 grams salt
• 3 grams black pepper
• 1 lemon

Coating

• 100 grams flour
• 2 large eggs
• 150 grams breadcrumbs
• 100 grams clarified butter

Preparation

Meat

1. Flatten the pork chops with a meat mallet until they are very thin
2. Season both sides of the meat with salt and black pepper

Coating

1. Dredge each pork cutlet in flour, then beaten egg, and finally breadcrumbs
2. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the meat to ensure the coating sticks
3. Fry in clarified butter for three minutes per side until golden brown

Tips

• Pounding the meat to a uniform thickness ensures it cooks evenly
• Use clarified butter for frying because it has a high smoke point
• Serve with a lemon wedge to cut through the richness of the meat
