List of Ingredients




1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed of membranes, and sliced into 12 pieces
salt and pepper to taste
all-purpose flour for dredging
1 Large egg, beaten with 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) Water
1 - 1½ cups sliced almonds
3 Tablespoons (45 ml) sweet butter
3 Tablespoons (45 ml) vegetable oil
12 lime slices, for garnish AND 1 lime, halved.



Recipe



Flatten the pieces of pork between dampened pieces of waxed paper, until they are ¼ inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.

Working with one piece at a time, Dredge the pork in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it in the egg, letting the excess drip off. Coat it in the almonds. Transfer the slices, as they are coated to a wax paper lined baking sheet, and chill them, covered loosely, for about 1 hour.

In a large skillet, heat 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) each of the butter and the oil. Heat over moderate heat, until foaming subsides. Sauté the pork in batches, adding more butter and oil, as necessary, 1-2 minutes per side, or until the almonds are a deep golden brown. Place the cooked pork pieces on paper towels to drain.

Arrange 3 pork slices, overlapping them with 3 lime slices on each of four heated dinner plates. Squeeze the lime halves over them, and serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings.
