Margarine is a lower-cost alternative for cooking.

Cut a pork tenderloin into chunks.

Flatten the chunks between a couple of pieces of wax paper or a plastic storage bag by pounding them thin.

Coat the cutlets with a mixture of Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Cook down some onions and garlic in olive oil in a large skillet.

Sauté the cutlets in the same pan with the cooked onions and garlic.

Cook the cutlets for less than 5 minutes until the breading is golden and the pork is cooked through.

Serve the cutlets hot.
