Paprika Pork Cutlets with Swiss Chard Egg Noodles

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork loin chops (6 ounces each)

  • Salt and pepper

  • 1 cup flour

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1 cup plain breadcrumbs

  • 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil, divided

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 bunch Swiss chard, deveined and chopped

  • 1/2 pound extra-wide egg noodles

  • A little freshly grated nutmeg or a couple of pinches ground nutmeg

  • 4 lemon wedges

Directions

Place a pot of water on to boil for egg noodles. Place chops between wax paper or some plastic wrap and pound out pork chops no more than a quarter inch thick. Season the pork cutlets with salt and pepper. Combine the flour and paprika on a plate. Beat eggs in a shallow dish. Place breadcrumbs on a second plate. Coat chops in flour, shake off excess, then coat in egg and breadcrumbs. Heat about 3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat for cutlets. When oil ripples, add cutlets and cook until golden, about 4 minutes on each side. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. When the butter melts into the oil, add chard and cook for 6-7 minutes.

Drop the egg noodles into boiling, salted water. Cook according to package directions. Drain noodles and add to chard; toss and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Serve Swiss chard and noodles alongside cutlets and serve lemon wedges to squeeze over the cutlets just before you eat them.
