Preparation
- Prepare the tomato marinade for the pork. For this, place 100 g of ketchup in a deep bowl, add a bit of allspice and black pepper, marjoram, and coriander. You can also use any other favorite spices. Carefully mix all the ingredients with a spoon.
- Place the pork tenderloin on a cutting board and carefully cut it into thin small slices. By the way, it's best to choose pork meat without streaks and fat. In this case, your dish will turn out tender and juicy.
- Beat each slice of meat on all sides using a special mallet. To perform this procedure carefully and avoid making a mess in the kitchen, lay the slice of pork on the cutting board and cover it with plastic wrap. Then pound the slice with a mallet, remove the wrap, flip the meat over, cover it again with plastic wrap, and pound the meat on the other side.
- Sprinkle the slices of pork with salt. To ensure the pork is well salted, it's necessary to mix the meat thoroughly with clean hands. Then place it in a bowl with the marinade and mix well.
- Place the meat in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. While the meat is marinating, prepare the tomato batter. For this, combine 2 tbsp of ketchup and mayonnaise in a small but deep plate, beat the eggs into the ingredients, and add salt and pepper.
- Whisk the combined ingredients thoroughly with a fork. The tomato batter is ready. You can start frying the chops.
- Dip each slice of pork into the batter and fry in a hot frying pan. To prevent the meat from sticking to the pan, be sure to grease it with olive oil before frying. The chops should be fried over low heat. Only in this case will the meat not burn and will remain juicy.
- The pork chops in batter in a frying pan are ready. Such chops should be served to guests only hot. They go great with fresh herbs and vegetables.
The chops turn out juicy and very unusual. Due to the use of ketchup, the meat acquires a barely noticeable sweet and sour taste. Enjoy your meal!
