Pork Parmesan

Ingredients:

2 ½ lbs. thinly sliced boneless pork loin

1 cup flour

3 eggs – beaten – plus a dash of water

2 cup shredded mozzarella

Oil for frying

2 cloves of garlic - halved

Sauce:

1 - 29 oz. can of crushed tomatoes

6 cloves of garlic – chopped

Healthy handful of cilantro – chopped

1 – 6 oz. can of pitted black olives - chopped

¼ cup – Fried long hot marinated peppers – chopped

Olive oil

Pork preparation:

Prepare the pork by dipping first in flour then egg wash and then flour again.

Heat a large frying pan with vegetable oil and halved garlic. Carefully place the prepared pork in the oil. Cooking time depends on how thick the pork is sliced. Turn the pork only once.

Set the pork on a platter prepared with paper towels to drain the excess oil.

Preparing the Sauce:

Heat a large frying pan with a few drizzles of olive oil. Add the garlic and cilantro and let the garlic turn golden. When this is accomplished add the crushed tomatoes, chopped olives and marinated long hot peppers. Continue to simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes.

Preheat oven 350:

In a medium baking pan drizzle a little olive oil and place the pork. Top the pork with spoonfuls of the sauce and the shredded mozzarella. Repeat this with another layer of pork, sauce and mozzarella.

Bake for about 20 minutes.

This dish is simply delicious served with a salad and of course some Italian bread.

Enjoy with Lots of Love,
