Pork Cutlets with Sauteed Beans and Peppers

With the right combination of simple ingredients, even the most uncomplicated of recipes can result in a seriously tasty meal.  These pork cutlets with sauteed beans and veggies are an ideal high protein option for a filling lunch or dinner.

Most of the effort of this dish is in chopping up the peppers, shallots, and parsley.  After that, it's basically just tossing ingredients into a skillet.  Oh, and there's a bonus - you'll only have one pan to wash when you're finished!

This dish has so much color.  I love cooking with bell peppers for the color as much as for their wonderfully spicy-sweet flavor.  Look how pretty!

This dinner packs a wallop with the protein but keeps the carbs low - perfect for filling you up and keeping you satiated, whether you follow a low carb lifestyle or not.  Enjoy!

Instructions

1. Heat 1 TBS of the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. While it is heating, season both sides of the pork cutlets with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the cutlets until browned and done, 2 to 3 minutes on each side, working in batches if needed. Remove to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
3. In the same skillet, add the other TBS of oil and use a spatula to deglaze the pan to scrape up all of the flavorful bits on the bottom. Add the peppers and onions with a bit more salt and pepper. Allow to cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
4. Add the beans, capers, and parsley, toss to combine, and allow to cook until beans are warmed through.
5. Serve 2 pork cutlets per plate topped with veggie mixture.
