Perfect for those following a ketogenic diet, this schnitzel is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making it a delightful meal for any occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by placing the pork fillets on a cutting board.
- Use a meat mallet to pound each fillet to about a 1/4-inch (0.6 cm) thickness. This will ensure even cooking and a tender texture.
- Lightly season both sides of each fillet with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Set aside.
- In a shallow bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly.
- Add the 1/4 cup of milk to the beaten egg and mix thoroughly until well combined.
- In another shallow dish, combine the flaxseed and sesame seeds. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of seeds.
- Dip each pork fillet into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Transfer the fillet to the flaxseed and sesame seed mixture, pressing down gently to ensure the seeds adhere to the meat. Flip and coat the other side as well. Repeat until all fillets are coated.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. The combination of oil and butter will create a rich flavor and help achieve a crisp texture.
- Once the oil and butter are hot and shimmering, add the coated pork fillets to the skillet. Cook them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Fry the schnitzels for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the pork is cooked through.
- Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
Tips:
- Tenderize the pork fillet by placing it between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pounding it with a meat mallet until it's an even thickness.
- When coating the pork, ensure it's evenly covered with the flaxseed and sesame mixture to achieve a crispy texture.
- Cook the schnitzel over medium heat to get a golden brown crust without burning the seeds.
- Let the cooked schnitzel rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Pair the schnitzel with a light, ketogenic-friendly side like a mixed green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
This Keto Pork Schnitzel with flaxseed and sesame seeds is a satisfying and healthy alternative to traditional schnitzel. The combination of crunchy seeds and tender pork creates a mouthwatering dish that fits perfectly into a ketogenic lifestyle. Enjoy this dish on its own or pair it with a side of leafy greens for a complete, nutritious meal.
