Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 10-12 mins

Serves: 4

Cooking Skill: Not Too Tricky

Ingredients

4 lean pork loin medallions, or loin steaks, trimmed of fat
25g plain flour
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
100g plain cornflakes
1 egg
Spray oil
To serve:
Burger buns
Lettuce, sliced tomatoes
Mayonnaise, tomato ketchup

Method

Step 1

Put the flour in a bowl with the smoked paprika and combine. If preferred, season with additional salt and pepper.

Step 2

Put the cornflakes in a large plastic food bag and crush to fine crumbs with a rolling pan or the base of a small saucepan. Crack the egg in a shallow bowl, beat well and set aside.

Step 3

Working in batches, dredge the pork in the seasoned flour, the egg and then into the bag with the crushed cornflakes. Shake until well coated. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C and spray the air fryer basket with oil.

Step 4

Lay the pork evenly into the air fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking. Repeat with the remaining pork (depending on the size of your air fryer).

Step 5

Serve in a burger bun with salad and a relish of your choice.
