Directions

  1. The meat, having been skinned, is cut into slices about 1 cm thick, using a mortar and pestle to grind it without breaking it. ≈ 3 min
  2. Next, it is coated with a spicier mixture: diced fresh or smoked bacon, mixed with parsley, chervil, mustard, onion, garlic, olives, cucumbers, and fresh or canned tomatoes, all diced and combined to taste. ≈ 3 min
  3. The cutlets are then folded in half, coated in flour, followed by beaten eggs (mixed with a little salt and pepper), then breadcrumbs, or alternatively, more flour, and then fried like Parisian cutlets, served in the same way.
