Olive Brushed Pork Cutlets
- 8 boneless pork loin cutlets, trimmed of fat and no more than 1/2-inch thick
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green olive paste
- 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
- 1 cup (or more if needed) dry bread crumbs
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
- Vegetable oil
- Lightly pound pork cutlets between plastic wrap to thin them out and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix the green olive paste with lime juice and spread each cutlet with some of this mixture.
- Dip the slices on both sides in bread crumbs, then in egg and in bread crumbs again, making sure all sides are well coated.
- With the dull edge of a chef's knife, score the coating in a criss cross pattern and let the slices stand, on a rack, at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour to let coating set up.
- (While this is setting up, make your carrot side dish)
- In a deep skillet heat 1-inch of vegetable oil to 375 degrees.
- Deep fry cutlets, olive coated side up, for 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the meat with a spatula and drain on paper towels.
