Recipe Tips
- Serving Suggestion
Balance this festive main dish with a smart side dish, such as a serving of hot steamed rice. - How to Pound Meat to Flatten
To flatten pork cutlets, place meat in large freezer-weight resealable plastic bag. Pound meat with meat mallet to desired thickness. The bag will contain the liquids from the meat, helping to minimize the mess. The flattened meat can then be stored in the sealed bag in refrigerator or freezer until ready to be used.
