Скачать или смотреть a message for my mother in law

I'm in the business of spilling the tea, especially when it comes to revealing the secrets of people's recipes. My mother-in-law makes these things called "karbonades", which, in Latvia, is pork meat, hammered thin and tender, seasoned, then dredged in flour, egg, and fried in that order. And the results are fatty and fantastically delicious.

Even if you've never heard of them before, you have to give it a go:

1kg Lean pork, cut into steaks about 1cm thick
1 cup of flour
5 eggs, beaten
Dried Dill
Flakey Sea Salt (not iodized salt, that shit is too intense!)
Pepper
Canola OIl

With a meat mallet, hammer out the pork steaks until they're aroun 2-3mm thick - you should be able to see light coming through it ( this is secret number 1).

Secret number 2 is, don't season the flour, season the meat. Season ONE side of each hammered bit of meat, with dill, salt and pepper. Don't go too hard, just a light coating.

Preheat a frying pan or a @razorgriddle to a medium high heat, add a decent amount of oil (I use rapeseed/canola)

Secret number 3: Cover the meat in flour, make sure its well coated, then immerse in the egg until well coated. Pull out, and put straight into the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes each side, or until nice and golden/brown. You're not aiming to make these crispy! You're basically creating the perfect combination of meat fat and salt, with an amazingly soft texture.

Serve with any kind of potato, and a mushroom sauce.
