Method

Trim all fat and silver skin from pork cutlets. Using flat side of meat mallet or a heavy pan, pound cutlets gently between sheets of plastic wrap as thinly as possible without breaking meat. Soak pounded cutlets in milk one hour or overnight in refrigerator. Put eggs and water in a pie plate, mix flour and pepper in another pie plate, in third plate mix panko and Parmesan cheese. Remove pork from milk bath, allow excess liquid to drip off. Dip each cutlet into flour, then egg, then panko. Arrange breaded cutlets on a flat counter, cover with plastic, and weight with books for 15 minutes, pressing panko firmly into cutlets (this step adds wonderful, even texture to the final product, but may be omitted). Heat oil and butter in a large, nonstick skillet. When it is quite hot but not smoking, add cutlets, cooking without crowding, in batches, about 2 minutes per side, or until darkly golden. Keep warm. Add onions to pan drippings and cook two minutes. Add wine and reduce by half. Add chicken stock and cook until it begins to turn syrupy, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in mustard, paprika, sour cream, and parsley. Stir until well blended. Serve with Cutlets.

 

Notes: This recipe is extremely economical, as it really stretches a small amount of meat. By using low fat products and a minimum of cooking fats, this dish is amazingly low in calories but huge on richness and taste. People think they are eating something gourmet and sinful, when actually the dish is easy, fast and healthy. And it is flexible, easily adapted to what is on hand: bread crumbs may be substituted for the panko. Plain, low fat yogurt may be substituted for the sour cream.
