4 chicken fry cutlets or game meat of choice that can be tenderized for cutlets

1 pint of low fat buttermilk

Sriracha Hot Sauce of Tabasco

1 cup unbleached white flour

1 package shredded parmesan cheese

Salt, Pepper, Garlic and any other spices you choose to season the flour

Olive Oil or any Heart Healthy Oil - I prefer a mix of Olive & Canola Oil - coating adheres better to the meat with this oil mixture

Red or White Wine for Sauce

Soak cutlets in mixture of buttermilk and Sriracha or tabasco for at least 2 hours.  

Mix flour, seasonings and cheese in a bowl

Dredge cutlets in mixture - making sure that it sticks to meat in every part of the cutlet

Heat oil to frying temperature

Place cutlets in oil & cook thoroughly being careful not to burn the oil

SAUCE:

Once cutlets are done should have enough oil & remains of coating to cook down with white or red wine.  We prefer the red wine - creates a dark sauce.

Cutlets can be served with pasta, potatoes or spaghetti squash - which is very quick to prepare.  Use a knife to pierce squash in several places. Place in the microwave for 10 to 12 minutes.  Carefully take out - to avoid steaming your hand and slice in half.  Scoop out seeds & use a fork to pull the squash away from the skin.  Season with salt, pepper & a little smart spread & serve with cutlets.

ROSEMARY GARLIC ROASTED POTATOES

1 small bag of roasting potatoes

Crushed Garlic - we use so much I purchase the large jar of crushed garlic to keep in the frig

Fresh Rosemary

Sea Salt & Pepper to taste

Olive Oil

Slice potatoes as you would for au gratin potatoes.  Spray a casserole dish with non- stick olive oil pam.  Place a layer of potatoes then some of the garlic - sparingly as it is potent, a few leaves of rosemary, then salt & pepper, then drizzle olive oil on all.  Repeat this layering to the top of the casserole dish - I recommend about 3 to 4 layers only of the thinly sliced potatoes.  Place in a pre-heated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes at 375 degrees.  They are better if they get crunchy on the bottom
