Ingredients
For the Pork Schnitzel:
2 grass-fed pork loin cutlets (about 6 oz each)
Pink Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup almond flour (for dredging)
1 pasture-raised egg, beaten
3/4 cup crushed pork rinds (from pasture-raised pork, for a low-carb breadcrumb alternative)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (for that extra depth of flavor)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or cold-pressed avocado oil (for frying)
For the Green Beans:
1/2 lb organic fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced (from organic bulbs for maximum flavor)
Pink Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Zest of 1/2 organic lemon (ensuring we get no pesticides in our zest)
Directions
Prepare the Pork: Season the pork cutlets with salt and pepper. Have almond flour, beaten egg, and crushed pork rinds ready in separate shallow dishes. Mix paprika into the pork rinds if using.
Dredge and Fry: Coat each pork cutlet first in almond flour, dip in the beaten egg, and lastly coat with crushed pork rinds, pressing to adhere. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Fry pork cutlets for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and cooked through. Remove and let them drain on a cooling rack.
Cook the Green Beans: In the same skillet, add a touch more oil if needed. Sauté garlic briefly, then add green beans. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until they're tender yet crisp. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
Serve: Pair each schnitzel with half of the green beans, garnishing with fresh parsley.
