  • Any cut of pork works for this dish — juicy pork neck, flavorful meat on the bone, or tender loin. Rinse the pork well, pat it dry, and cut it into serving-sized pieces. Keep each piece no more than 1/2 to 3/4 inch (1–2 cm) thick, since the breading cooks fairly quickly and the pork needs to finish in that same time. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and ground coriander, then let it sit for about half an hour to soak up the seasonings — this makes it juicier and more flavorful. Prepare the breadcrumbs: dry out some white bread, then grate it or grind it in a blender, and sift the crumbs so no big chunks end up in the coating. Grate the Parmesan finely and mix it into the crumbs. Make the egg wash: rinse the eggs, crack them into a bowl, add a little warm water, and whisk until foamy. Set up your three-station breading line: a flat plate with flour, a bowl of the egg wash, and a plate of the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture. Pour vegetable oil into a cast-iron skillet and let it heat up. Take a piece of pork, first dredge it in flour, then dip it in the egg wash, and finally coat it well on all sides with the crumb-Parmesan mixture. Lay the pork in the hot skillet and fry evenly on all sides until golden and crisp. Don't cover the pan, and keep the heat between medium and high — the meat should fry, not steam. Once it's browned all over, set it on a paper towel to blot the excess oil. Repeat with each piece. Arrange the finished cutlets on a plate, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve.
  • Enjoy!
