Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 1 lb pork tenderloin
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh flat leaf parsley
  • 2 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 plum tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme

Directions

  1. Slice the tenderloin into 8 pieces and pound till they’re 1/4 inch thick. Place the flour on a plate.
  2. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Chop the parsley. In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Dip each cutlet in the flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the bread crumbs.

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the cutlets until golden and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side, using 2 more tablespoons of the oil for the second batch. Transfer to plates.

  4. Wipe out skillet. Heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Cut the tomatoes into wedges. Add them to the skillet with the vinegar, thyme, and the remaining salt and pepper. Cook for 7 minutes. Add the pork.
