The traditional version involves breading a slice of loin with eggs and breadcrumbs, and then frying it in clarified butter. In the variant that I am about to offer you, which is very light and dietetic, we will not do any harm to the animals and we will not use eggs, butter or meat. Let's see how to prepare the vegan cutlet!

Alternatives

The vegan grated cheese can instead be replaced with gomasio or with a spoonful of tahini sauce.- Add the organic potato flakes and blend by adding just enough soy milk to obtain a soft but workable dough.
- Divide the dough into three parts. Crush each ball with your hands until you get an irregular disk with a thickness of a couple of centimeters.
