Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup cracker crumbs
1 cup sliced almonds
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
6 pork loin cutlets -- pound 1/4 inch
thick
Butter
Olive oil
3 green onions -- sliced
Lemon wedges -- garnish

In a small bowl, mix together the eggs and buttermilk. In another bowl,
combine the flour, cracker crumbs, almonds, salt, cayenne pepper, and
coriander. Dip the pounded cutlets into the egg mixture, then dredge them in
the flour mixture, pressing the breading on to make the almonds adhere. Lay
the cutlets on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This can be
done up to 24 hours in advance. When ready to serve, heat enough butter and
olive oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet until "singing" hot. Cook the
cutlets 3 at a time, turning and cooking about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or
until the almonds are golden and browned. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with
the sliced green onions and accompany with the lemon wedges.

Yield: 6 servings
