Pork Cutlet Sliders


Pork Cutlet Sliders



    
  • 1 pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 sweet onions, sliced
  • 1 cup beer
  • 2 lemons, juice
  • 4 slices of cheese, quartered (I used swiss in this recipe)
  • 1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • Oil for frying

Directions:

1. Slice the pork tenderloin into equal medallions, roughly 1/4 inch. Pound the cutlets thin, then slice into slider size, roughly three square inches.
2. Mix flour, salt, and pepper in one bowl. Whisk two eggs in another bowl. Pour bread crumbs in the third bowl.
3. Dredge each cutlet in the flour mix, then egg mix, then breadcrumbs.
4. Heat up cooking oil in a large pan. Fry the cutlets until they are golden brown, then set cutlets on a paper towel to remove excess grease.
5. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until starting to brown. Pour beer and stir occasionally. When the liquid is gone, the onions are ready.
6. Stack your sliders: pork, lemon juice, cheese, onion, sliced red cabbage, pork, and insert a toothpick to hold the slider together.

*Optional - Serve with dressing of choice. Enjoy!

Guacamole Onion Rings






Here’s what you will need:

  • 3 avocados, ripe
  • 1 lime
  • 1 tomato, diced and drained of excess water
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 small-medium yellow onions
  • Flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • Oil for frying
  •  Try adding some grated cheese (of your choice)

Directions:

In a medium mixing bowl, mash avocados with the juice of one lime. Mix in chopped tomato, cilantro, garlic, salt, and chili powder.
Cut onion into 1/2-inch slices. Carefully separate the layers into individual rings. On a wax paper–lined tray, lay out onion rings and fill each with guacamole. Place tray in freezer until solid (about one hour).
Add flour, beaten eggs, and panko bread crumbs to three separate bowls. Remove frozen guacamole rings from freezer. Roll each first in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs. Coat once more in egg and a final time in bread crumbs.
In a large saucepan, heat oil to 350˚F (180˚C). Fry guacamole onion rings in batches until nicely browned on all sides. Place on paper towel–lined plate to drain off any excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and lime juice. Serve with sour cream.
