Cotoletta di maiale

Ingredienti

• 6 boneless pork chops
• 1 tsp. salt (and more for seasoning pork)
• Freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup flour
• 3 large eggs (lightly beaten)
• 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
• Canola Oil (enough for frying)
• Lemon wedges
• fresh parsley

Preparazione

1. 1

   Use a mallet to pound the pork chops until they're 1/4 inch thick. Then, season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Prepare a large saute pan with a generous amount of oil, enough so that the schnitzel will float slightly. Heat to about 350-375F, but not smoking.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, mix the flour with salt in a shallow bowl. Place beaten eggs in another bowl and breadcrumbs in a separate one. Dip the pork into the flour, then the egg, and then the bread crumbs. Press well with the tip of your fingers so that the breading sticks to the meat.

3. 3

   Immediately fry them in heated oil. Once they're nicely golden, place them over paper towels to release excess oil.

4. 4

   Serve them warm with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
