Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

200 ml kefir
250 ml rye breadcrumbs
2 tbsp olive oil

Spices:

Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
2 tsp meat seasoning

Preparation Time

Total Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by slicing the pork loin chops into thin slices, and gently pound them to tenderize.
Sprinkle the sliced pork with salt, pepper, and meat seasoning. Then, slice the seasoned pork into strips.
Prepare two separate bowls—one for kefir and the other for rye breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Dip each pork strip first into the kefir, ensuring it's well-coated.
Next, roll the kefir-coated strip in the rye breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Carefully place the coated pork strips into the heated pan.
Fry the strips for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are a beautiful golden brown.
Ensure that the strips are thoroughly cooked by cutting one in half – it should no longer be pink inside.
Remove the cooked strips from the pan and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process for the remaining pork strips.
Meanwhile, prepare your choice of dipping sauce to serve alongside the crispy strips.
Consider mixing mayonnaise with garlic or sriracha for a zesty dip.
Arrange the crispy pork strips on a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh parsley or dill for a pop of color.
Serve with a side of fresh vegetables, such as cucumber sticks or cherry tomatoes.
You can also pair them with a light salad to enhance the meal.
Encourage your diners to dip the strips into the sauce for a burst of flavor.
Enjoy the combination of crispy exterior and juicy interior with each bite.
Bon appétit!
