Sour cream can be substituted by coconut cream (you can refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk and use the solid part!). I’ve done these without the parmesan and it worked out great still!

Emily, to me her reply was just stating facts, it wasn’t rude. There are plenty of newbies to the paleo diet that might not realize that certain things aren’t paleo and follow this recipe. Not only that but they may have no idea what subs to use. I think it might be a little rude to just assume someone is rude and to assume that they already know what they’re asking for. It is indeed a free recipe but apparently to luvsun it isn’t a paleo recipe and that information should have been stated or subs provided. That is not rude.

Now my reply is not intended to be rude although perhaps one may think it is. I just wish we could get replies from readers about what would be good substitutes. That would be most helpful. I say this as one who is gluten and sugar free and thinking seriously about paleo.

We skipped the marinade because we didn’t have time, and found out that we didn’t have enough of the egg mixture (bowl #2), and had too much of the almond flour (bowl #1). In fact, to triple the recipe, instead of using 3 cups of almond flour, I measured out 1 cup and added about 1/3 cup coconut flour… and that was still way too much than what was used.

Still really great, and the leftovers were yummy as well. We were worried if the breading was going to be too almond flour tasting, or too pork rind tasting, but it was definitely a neutral, breading flavor. Will definitely be making these again!

Being rude to someone who supplies free recipes is extremely inappropriate. If you are Paleo I’m sure you’re well aware of the appropriate substitutions.
