About this recipe:
A delicious and easy high-protein option for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb pork cutlet (4 oz, 4 oz, 4 oz, 4 oz portions)
- 3 ½ tbsp fresh sage
- 4 oz prosciutto
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 8 cups arugula
- ¾ cup almonds
- 1 lemon
Instructions:
- Season pork cutlet with salt and pepper to taste. Top each serving with a sage leaf, then wrap in a slice of prosciutto. Cover with a layer of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet (or any heavy object) until meat is 1/2-inch thin.
- Line a plate with paper towels.
- Heat half the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add wrapped pork cutlet and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from pan onto the plate lined with paper towels.
- Add remaining olive oil to the pan, then add the arugula and almonds. Cook, stirring, until greens are slightly wilted, about 1 minute.
- Serve pork cutlet on a bed of greens. Drizzle with lemon juice.
