Recipe Introduction
As fun to make and it is good to eat.
List of Ingredients
Buy as many thinly sliced pork loin slices as you
will need, or buy a whole loin & cut very thin
pieces.
2 or 3 whole eggs
1 entire stack of saltine crackers
black pepper to tasteRecipe
Lay each slice of loin on a flat surface (we
encase each slice in a sturdy large plastic bag
for this)
Using the FLAT side of a meat tenderizer, or even
a hammer, pound out the loin until it is almost
paper thin. Do this with each slice.Make sure
every inch is "hammered" !
Mix an egg wash of 2 or 3 whole eggs & just a
little water. Beat in medium-sized bowl until
frothy.
In another large plastic bag, FINELY crush one
entire stack of saltine crackers until a coarse
cornmeal consistency is attained.Pour into large
bowl & add black pepper to taste.(If you are
preparing a large quantity, more crackers will be
needed)
Now, soak each piece of the loin in the egg wash
for a few seconds until well coated, then drag
thru the cracker meal until both sides are
heavily coated with the mix.
Heat small amount of oil to medium high in large
skillet. Cook loin slices until golden brown on
both sides. (This may take less than 1 minute
each slice & you will have to add oil if cooking
more than 4 slices.)
Serve piping hot.They melt in your mouth!
These make GREAT sandwiches when placed on RYE,
or on Kaiser rolls!
