Crispy Pork Cutlets with Dill Pickle Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Pork Cutlets with Dill Pickle Sauce.

1. Step 1

   To start, take your pork pieces and place them between two sheets of heavy plastic wrap or pop them into resealable freezer bags.

2. Step 2

   Grab a meat mallet and gently pound the pork until it reaches a lovely thickness of about half an inch.

3. Step 3

   Once you’ve done that, transfer the pork to a plate and generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.

4. Step 4

   Lightly sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the pork, ensuring both sides are coated just right.

5. Step 5

   Next, pour some beaten eggs over the pork, turning each piece to make sure it’s evenly coated in that rich, eggy goodness.

6. Step 6

   Now, let’s get to the crunchy part! In a shallow bowl, add your panko breadcrumbs.

7. Step 7

   Dredge each piece of pork in the panko, pressing down firmly to ensure they’re well-coated.

8. Step 8

   Once you’ve breaded all the cutlets, place them on a clean plate, cover them with plastic wrap, and pop them in the fridge for about 15 minutes.

9. Step 9

   This little rest will help the coating stick better when you cook them.

10. Step 10

    While the pork is chilling, let’s whip up a delicious sauce.

11. Step 11

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt some butter and toss in diced pickles, minced jalapeño, and chopped green onions.

12. Step 12

    Sauté these for about 3 minutes, stirring until the onions soften and become fragrant.

13. Step 13

    Next, sprinkle in 1 and a half tablespoons of flour and keep stirring for another 3 minutes to create a nice base for your sauce.

14. Step 14

    Gradually whisk in 2 to 3 tablespoons of cold milk, then add the rest of the milk along with Worcestershire sauce and a dash of black pepper.

15. Step 15

    Let this simmer on low for about 5 minutes, tasting and adjusting the seasoning to your liking.

16. Step 16

    Once it’s perfect, set the sauce aside.

17. Step 17

    Now, it’s time to cook those crispy pork cutlets! In a large skillet, heat a quarter cup of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

18. Step 18

    Add half of your breaded pork cutlets to the skillet and cook them for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and no longer pink inside.

19. Step 19

    Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil, and sprinkle them with a little salt for that extra flavor.

20. Step 20

    Repeat this process with the remaining oil and pork cutlets.

21. Step 21

    Finally, it’s time to serve! Plate those crispy pork cutlets and generously drizzle them with your homemade dill pickle sauce.

22. Step 22

    Enjoy the delightful crunch and the burst of flavors that will surely impress your family and friends!.
