Ingredients
For the Pork Schnitzels
4
pork loin medallions, trimmed of fat or fillet medallions
2
whole eggs
100g
plain flour, seasoned with a pinch of salt and black pepper
1
small handful of fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped or 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
Grated zest of 1 lemon
100g
fresh white crust-free breadcrumbs or Panko breadcrumbs
1
tablespoon vegetable oil, for cooking
To serve
1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
1 x 100g bag mixed salad leaves
100g prepared pickled red cabbage
1 x 300g pot prepared potato salad
Or make your own potato salad by boiling 300g small new potatoes. When cooked mix the potatoes with 3 tablespoon light mayonnaise and optional, 2 tablespoon capers and optional 1 small red onion peeled and thinly sliced.
Method
Step 1
Place the pork on a board between two sheets of cling film. Using the base of a small saucepan, bash them all over until they are 5mm thin so they cook quickly.
Step 2
Take three shallow cereal bowls. In one bowl add the seasoned flour. In the next bowl crack the eggs and whisk together. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the rosemary and lemon zest.
Step 3
Take a pork medallion, coat on both sides in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Place to one side and repeat for all the medallions.
Step 4
Put a large frying pan with the vegetable oil over moderate heat.
Step 5
When it’s hot, add the breaded pork schnitzel and fry for 3 minutes on each side. (When the crumb is a lovely golden brown and the juices run clear, you’ll know it’s cooked).
Step 6
Squeeze the juice of a lemon wedge over the schnitzel and Serve with pickled red cabbage, potato salad and mixed green leaves
