2 Boneless Pork Loin Chops á ca. 160g
2 tsp Mustard
1 medium Egg
1/2 Small Lemon
2 tbsp Healthy Oil for Frying
- Coating
50 g Defatted Peanut Flour
30 g Almond Flour
110 g Grated Parmesan
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
Method
- Using a meat tenderiser (a hammer) bash the schnitzel slightly on both sides and season with salt

- Remove from the frying pan and put onto kitchen paper
- Garnish the finished schnitzel with lemon wedges
