Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour, plus additional for dredging
- 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and freshly ground white pepper
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
- 2 lb. pork tenderloin, trimmed of all fat and silver skin
- 1/2 lb. (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Directions
Combine the eggs, flour, cheese, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and parsley in a blender or food processor and blend for 1 minute. Slice the tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick pieces and place between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound with the flat side of a meat pounder or the bottom of a heavy skillet into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Dip each tenderloin slice into the batter and dredge in flour; shake off any excess.
Over medium-high heat, melt enough of the butter to cover the bottom of a large, heavy frying pan. Place the pork medallions in the pan so that they don't touch each other. Saute' until completely browned on one side; then loosen with a spatula and turn to cook the other side. Remove to a serving tray and quickly deglaze the frying pan with lemon juice. Briefly reduce the liquid to form a thick glaze. Strain the juice over the schnitzels and serve immediately. Recipe by Carolyn Buster of Chicago, Illinois.
Note: The batter can be made and the pork can be pounded up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated, tightly covered. The dish must be cooked just prior to serving.
Serves 4 to 6.
