Here’s a simple, juicy recipe for Pork Cutlets Wrapped in Foil with Butter—perfect for baking or even grilling. The foil locks in moisture, making the meat tender and flavorful.
🥩 Ingredients
- 4 pork cutlets (thin or medium thickness)
- 3–4 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried herbs (thyme, rosemary, or oregano)
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp lemon juice
🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Set to 180°C (350°F).
- Prepare foil packets
- Cut large pieces of aluminum foil for each cutlet.
- Season the pork
- Rub cutlets with salt, pepper, paprika, herbs, and garlic.
- Drizzle with lemon juice.
- Assemble
- Place each cutlet on foil.
- Top with onion slices, bell peppers (if using), and a piece of butter.
- Wrap tightly
- Seal the foil into packets so juices don’t escape.
- Bake
- Place packets on a tray and bake for 30–40 minutes.
- Optional browning
- Open the foil for the last 5–10 minutes to lightly brown the top.
🌟 Tips
- Add sliced potatoes or mushrooms inside the foil for a full meal.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little mustard or soy sauce before sealing.
- You can also cook these on a grill for a smoky taste.
🍽️ Result
Tender, buttery pork with rich juices and soft vegetables—no dryness at all.
If you want, I can give you a creamy garlic sauce version or a spicy baked variation for extra flavor.
