• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped For the Garlic Roasted Kale:
• 1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves torn into bite
• sized pieces
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

1. Pound pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
2. In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and coconut flour. In another shallow dish, beat eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Dredge each pork chop in the dry mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally the dry mixture again, ensuring a thick coating.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops and cook for 3 4 minutes per side or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from pan and let rest while making the sauce.
5. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté garlic for 1 minute.
6. Deglaze pan with white wine if using, then add sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are tender and have released their juices, about 5 minutes.
7. Stir in coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let simmer for 2 3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. In a separate pan, toss kale with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven at 400°F for 8 10 minutes or until crispy.
9. Plate pork schnitzel over roasted kale, then pour mushroom sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
