Pork Cutlets

ellie_'s Note:

A while ago someone asked what to do with pork cutlets she got on sale - this is a wonderful dish using pork cutlets that we enjoy served with egg noodles. Recipe source: Bon Appetit (January 1981)

• Total Time: 35 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 6 boneless pork cutlets, trimmed
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons seasoning salt (we used garlic salt)
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 6 tablespoons vegetable shortening (Crisco)
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup sour cream, room temperature

Directions:

1. Place cutlets between waxed paper and flatten to 1/4 - 1/2 inch thickness using a meat pounder or rolling pin.
2. Cut small slits around the edges of the pork and set aside.
3. In a pie dish or bowl combine 1/2 cup flour, salt and pepper.
4. In a second pie dish beat eggs with milk.
5. In a third pie dish combine bread crumbs and paprika.
6. Dip cutlets in flour, then egg mixture and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, coating well with the crumbs; set aside until all the pork cutlets are coated.
7. In a large skillet melt Crisco (vegetable shortening) over medium heat.
8. Add three cutlets to the skillet at a time and saute on both sides until golden brown (3-5 minutes per side) and then transfer to a plate and keep warm and repeat with the remaining shortening (3 tablespoons) and cutlets.
9. In a small cup combine remaining flour (2 tablespoons) with dillweed and then add mixture to skillet.
10. Stir in broth, stirring to combine well and then stir in sour cream until heated through.
11. Spoon sauce or pass separately--the sauce is wonderful over noodles.

This is one recipe I will use forever. The cutlets cook so quickly & were juicy & flavorful. YUM!

I was looking for something a bit different to try with pork cutlets and this was quite good. We really liked the cutlets but we didn't like the dill sauce quite as much. I think it is just a matter of personal taste, nothing wrong with the recipe whatsoever. I will make the cutlets again, thanks ellie!
