Pork

Ingredients

Mix dark brown sugar, cayenne pepper, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.

Pound pork to 1/4” thickness with a meat mallet or heavy pan and sprinkle both sides with sugar and spice mixture.

Place a heavy bottom nonstick skillet on the stovetop and preheat over medium heat.

Add sunflower seeds and toast until lightly browned and fragrant, shaking frequently.

Remove pork to a cutting board to rest before slicing.
