FEEDS: 2-4

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• 1 fresh pork tenderloin
• 1/2 C. flour
• salt and pepper
• 1 egg
• 1/3 C. seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/3 C. yellow corn meal
• 1/3 C. matzo meal
• 3-4 T. canola oil

LET'S COOK

Cut the fresh pork tenderloin into 1/4 inch thick slices. Use the palm of your hand to flatten them to a uniform thickness.

Blend the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Whip the egg with a tablespoon of water in another bowl. Finally, mix the breadcrumbs, corn meal and matzo meal in another bowl.

One by one, dust each piece of flattened pork in the flour mix, then evenly coat in the egg wash and finally, pat each one evenly in the breadcrumb mixture. Lay them, not touching or overlapping, on a platter.

Heat the oil in a saute pan and slide in the breaded pork. Saute on both sides to an even, golden brown. Plate up and serve with a side of rice and any green vegetable.

MORE IDEAS:

This breading recipe renders a crispy and crunchy crust. Try it on a flattened, boneless,skinless chicken breast. Or, simply pat a fresh filet of fish directly in the breadcrumb mix, then saute in hot oil and serve with a wedge of fresh lemon or lime.
