Pork Loin Slices with Sesame Seeds

Pork loin with sesame seeds is a tasty and crispy dish that combines the delicacy of pork meat with the crunchiness of toasted sesame seeds. Let’s see together how to prepare this dish.

Ingredients

• 4 pork loin slices
• 4 tablespoons of sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons of flour
• 2 eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Oil for frying

Preparation

1. Begin by lightly beating the pork loin slices between two sheets of parchment paper to flatten them and make them more tender.
2. Beat the eggs in a deep plate and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. On another plate, lay out the sesame seeds.
4. Coat the pork loin slices first in flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the sesame seeds. Make sure the seeds stick well to the surface of the meat by pressing them on with your hands.
5. Heat the oil in a pan and, when it is hot, fry the breaded slices until they are golden on both sides. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Once cooked, place the meat on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
7. Serve hot, accompanied by a light side dish, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.

Curiosity

Sesame is widely used in Asian cuisine but is also found in Mediterranean cooking, particularly in bread and pastries. Rich in oils and with a high calcium content, it is an ingredient that is both beneficial and tasty. Breading the meat with sesame seeds is not just a trick for adding crispiness, but also a way to enrich the dish in nutritional terms and flavor.
