Italian Style Pork Cutlets



While growing up my parents had a pig farm for awhile, so we always had plenty of pork! I never liked pork cutlets when i was younger, or honestly most meat hahah but they were my brothers favorite so my mom liked to make them for him. This is her recipe that I have tweaked just a little bit. Pork cutlets are just a tender and enjoyable dish. The meat absorbs the flavor of the other ingredients that it is cooked with, so feel free to try them with different vegetables of your choice.
Now i love pork cutlets, they taste and remind me of home. I made these for my boyfriend and he told me that this may be his favorite dish ever!

Ingredients

Pork Cutlets
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1 ½ cup Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 diced onion
Sliced Bell peppers of choice, I use 1 of each!
3 tablespoon Olive Oil

Directions

1.)  Preheat oven to 400 hundred degrees.
2.)  Cut and form the cutlets into your desired serving size.
      It is ok if the meat is falling apart a little, after they are breaded and once you start cooking them, the meat will cook together.

3.)  Take 3 bowls. In bowl one put all the flour. In bowl two put the beat eggs. In bowl three put the breadcrumbs.


4.)  Dip pork in flour, then in egg mixture (allow excess egg to drip off) Then roll in the breadcrumbs, pat the bread crumbs into the cutlet.
         Warning you will get a bit dirty 
5.)  In a large cast iron skillet heat the oil to medium high. Add your pork cutlets and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until nice and brown.
6.)  Keep the pork cutlets in the skillet add the sauce, onion and peppers.




7.)  Cook at 400 for 30 minutes.
 Be prepared for you kitchen to smell delicious, the peppers release this amazing aroma. I made this at my boyfriends house and he asked me multiple times in that 30 minutes if it was done yet because it smells so good.

Italian style pork cutlet! Enjoy :)
