Make

  1. Cook cabbage by heating a saute pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add butter (portion for the cabbage) and then garlic and apples to melted butter. Saute for ~2 minutes before adding cabbage with a pinch of salt. Saute for another 14 to 16 minutes, until cabbage is tender.
  2. While cabbage is cooking dip each pork cutlet into eggs and then in almond meal. Repeat until all cutlets are breaded.
  3. Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add oil and then cutlets to heated oil (do this in batches and / or add some additional oil as needed). Cook for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes on each side, transferring to a plate when cooked through.
  4. Stir vinegar and maple syrup into finished cabbage and season with some salt.
  5. Serve pork with cabbage on the side. Squeeze lemon wedges over everything. Enjoy!
