Pork theme

Since we are currently holidaying with family and friends on the coast, I had to work through the meat supply I had on hand before we left. (By the way, wedding of A was beautiful, the weather is great and I'm spending a lot of time at the beach smelling the salt water).

I had pork left over from the optimus prime pork chops the other day and needed a quick meal. I had come across a recipe at Urbanbundle for parmesan and panko crusted pork. I always keep 2 or 3 bags of panko on hand at home - I can't remember the last time I used regular bread crumbs for anything. These are by far the best breading crumbs for any kind of meat - they crisp up beautifully.

Since I didn't want to buy anything else this week to make a "meal" out of the cutlets, I opted for a pork cutlet burger.

Aren't they beautiful? Crispy, golden brown. Mine should've been pounded a bit thinner as they started to burn on the underside, but if you are careful you shouldn't have a problem.

Some garlic marinara and melted cheddar under the broiler and we were good to go. I served these with extra marinar for dipping. Everything tastes better when dipped!

You can find the pork recipe at Urbanbundle HERE.

  5. I love panko too - and was so happy when the Bulk Barn started carrying it.
    The cutlets look great - perfect game food. What game? I don't know. I don't play anything more vigorous than Jeopardy. ;)

  7. Cathy, That looks so good. I don’t know if pork may be better in Canada than in the US but we find it to be so dry. Now, it wasn’t like that when I was growing up…I think it’s “science” trying to build a better pig that makes pork different these days.

  8. Pierce - it can be very dry here as well, which is why I undercook it a bit.

    Wandering - weird fall weather hey? 35 in Calgary...and of course I am not there.
