2 Meanwhile, combine fennel seeds with caraway seeds and sprinkle evenly over pork cutlets. Season with black pepper.
3 Set a large, non-stick frying pan or grill pan over a medium–high heat. Add pork to pan and cook each side for 4 minutes or until done to your liking. Transfer pork to a plate and cover loosely with tinfoil to keep warm. Leave pork to rest for 3 minutes.
