Lemon Pork Piccata

This dish is so quick and easy to make that there is no real recipe.
It all depends on the quantity you want to make and how many people are going to eat.
A good dish to make for company.

  • 1 1/2 lb. Pork Tenderloin
  • 1/2 cup of seasoned flour with (salt and pepper according to taste)
  • 2 eggs, beaten with a tablespoon of water
  1. Cut the tenderloin into 1/4 inch medallions, sliced at an angle against the grain.
  2. Pound til thin with a heavy skillet or mallet. This will not take much pounding since the meat is already so tender.*
  3. Coat it with seasoned flour.
  4. Dip into the egg mixture.
  5. Then dip once more into the flour.
  6. Brown in a little oil until golden in color.
  7. Squeeze a fresh lemon over with desired amount of juice.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
* If you have the time and you would like you can marinade the meat after it is pounded with a squeeze of fresh lemon, a clove or two of minced garlic and a drizzle of olive oil, but it is not necessary.
