Ingredients
2 servings
Cutlet
Pork loin chops, pounded thin400 g
Crushed pork rinds60 g
Grated parmesan cheese30 g

Fine sea salt0.5 tsp

Method
Cutlet
1
Season the pounded pork chops on both sides with sea salt and black pepper.
2
Mix the crushed pork rinds and grated parmesan cheese together in a shallow dish. Place the beaten egg in another shallow dish.
3
Dip each chop first into the egg, coating thoroughly, then dredge in the pork rind mixture, pressing firmly so it forms a thick, even crust.
4
Melt the lard in a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot and shimmering, fry the pork cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply golden and crispy. Remove from the skillet and let rest on a wire rack.
Gravy
5
Pour off excess frying fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Return the skillet to medium heat and pour in the beef bone broth, tamari, and apple cider vinegar to deglaze, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.
6
Simmer the liquid until reduced by half, then remove the pan from the heat. Whisk in the cold butter, one piece at a time, to create a glossy, thickened gravy.
Plate
7
Slice the hot pork cutlet into thick strips, place on a plate, and drizzle the savory gravy generously over the top just before serving.
