Chops
Ingredients:
- pork loin - 500 g;
- breadcrumbs - 1/2 cup;
- chicken egg - 1 pc.;
- vegetable oil;
- salt and black pepper to taste.
Beat the egg with salt and black pepper. Cut the pork loin across into slices 1.5-2 cm thick. Lightly beat off on each side (no need to beat to a thin state). Dry each piece with a napkin, dip in a beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan, put the resulting cutlets. Fry on both sides until golden brown. The total frying time is approximately 15-20 minutes. Serve with vegetables and mashed potatoes.
In order to prevent the juice and small pieces from scattering around when beating meat with a hammer, put the slices on a cutting board and wrap it with cling film.
