For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the sauce during the final step. This will create an even richer and more decadent experience. Be careful not to overcook the pork; it should be tender and juicy, not tough. Adjust cooking times as needed based on the thickness of your cutlets. Serve immediately after preparing to enjoy the sauce at its best. Garnish with extra parsley and a lemon wedge for a touch of elegance.
