Step 1
1. To prepare fried pork in a pan, start by marinating the meat. First, wash the pork under cold running water and dry it. Then cut it into portion-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with lemon juice, and optionally add a little honey. Let the pork marinate for 25–30 minutes. After that, pour olive oil (sunflower oil can be used as a substitute) into a frying pan and add a sprig of thyme. You can also add 1–2 cloves of garlic to taste.
