4 servings

Ingredients

• 0.62 kg pork loin
• pepper (a little)
• salt (a little)
• egg (a little)
• breadcrumbs (a little)
• butter (a little)
• olive oil (a little)

Instructions

1. For 4 people, ½ to ¾ kg of pork loin.
2. Cut finger-thick slices from the chop piece, chop off the vertebral bone and a piece of the rib bone short, trim the fat as desired, flatten the slices slightly, sprinkle with a little pepper and salt, bread in egg and breadcrumbs, and fry light brown on both sides in rendered butter in an open pan.
3. Alternatively, do not bread, but after salting and peppering, brush with melted butter or olive oil and grill brown on both sides.
4. Serve as a side dish to vegetables or as a standalone dish with mashed potatoes or fried potatoes and salad.
