4 teaspoons Emeril's Creole Seasoning [3]

Prepare the Olive Tomato Sauce, and cover to keep warm.

Remove the eggplant with tongs, add 2 tablespoons of the oil to the skillet, and when itís hot, repeat the process with the remaining 4 slices of eggplant. Remove the eggplant with tongs, and drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle the pork with the Creole Seasoning, using 1/4 teaspoon per side of each cutlet.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over high heat. Add the cutlets and sautÈ until brown, for about 2 minutes on each side.
To serve, arrange 2 slices of eggplant with 2 pork cutlets on each of 4 plates and nap with 1/2 cup of the Olive Tomato Sauce.
