Homemade Pork Schnitzel

with New Potatoes and Zingy Salad (F)

Food can be a great opportunity for increasing your vocabulary and nowhere is this more apparent than with the word ‘schnitzel’. We conjured up a thousand ideas on what this word could mean, though it turns out it simply means ‘cut’ (as in a ‘cut’ of meat). The schnitzel also happens to be a close cousin of the escalope, the milanese and the milanesa in case you need to order it abroad!

Instructions

1

Boil a large pot of water with ¼ tsp of salt for the potatoes. Wash the potatoes (but keep the nutritious skins on). Cut the potatoes into quarters. Cook in the boiling water for 10-15 mins until cooked through.

Whack the pork
2

Place your hand flat on each pork fillet and slice in half from the side. Lay the pork slices between 2 sheets of clingfilm. Whack the pork, using the base of a pan or a rolling pin, until it is 1cm thick.

Coat pork in breadcrumbs
3

Put the breadcrumbs in a big bowl with ½ tsp of salt and a good few grinds of black pepper. Coat each pork fillet evenly in a tbsp of sour cream. Press each fillet into the breadcrumbs until completely coated.

4

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan. Lay the pork schnitzels in the pan and cook for 3-4 mins on each side. Tip: Cook these in batches to make sure the pan retains its heat and gives a lovely golden colour to the schnitzels. We cooked the pork until it was ever so slightly pink in the middle.

5

Drain your potatoes when they’re done and rinse them under cold water for a minute. This will stop them from cooking further and cool them slightly for your lukewarm salad.

Whisk ingredients together
6

LH: In a bowl, use a fork to whisk together the Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar and 1½ tbsp of olive oil with a small pinch of salt and pepper.

Toss potatoes and rocket with vinaigrette
7

Toss the rocket and slightly cooled potatoes with this vinaigrette. Scatter the capers on top. Tip: If the little ones don’t like capers, you can just leave them out! Tip: To sweeten the vinaigrette, you can add a pinch of sugar.

8

Serve the schnitzels on the new potato salad and sprinkle over some lemon zest.
