Make
- Cook cabbage by heating a saute pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add butter 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.
- While cabbage is cooking, dip each pork cutlet into eggs and then in almond meal. Repeat until all cutlets are breaded.
- 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.
- Stir vinegar and maple syrup into finished cabbage and season with some salt.
- Serve pork with cabbage on the side. Squeeze lemon wedges over everything. Enjoy!

This meal has become a go-to for our family. It is the one my daughter consistently requests. I usually skip the noodles and add in another vegetable. Can be done in the aibfryer also.
0 HelpfulI ended up combining meal plans and used sides from another dish, but the pork and sour cream sauce alone deserve 5 stars.
0 HelpfulPork was a hit. I sliced it thinner as per another review. Cabbage was meh, but it would take a miracle for me to like cabbage. Kids liked the princess shaped noodles. Used much more oil than it called for otherwise the breading would burn. Probably not the healthiest.
