Lemon, Parmesan and Pine Nut Encrusted Schnitzels

Serves 4

Ingredients
4 pork  or veal escalopes
75 g bag panko breadcrumbs
1 lemon
75 g Parmesan, grated
50 g pine nuts
3 sprigs rosemary
100 g lambs lettuce
10 roseval potatoes
11 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons flour
2 eggs
salt and freshly ground black pepper
balsamic vinegar, to taste

Method

Wash the potatoes and cut lengthways into quarters. Heat 5 tablespoons olive oil in a frying pan and fry the potatoes together with the leaves from 2 sprigs rosemary for 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (This can also be done in the oven for about 30 minutes at 180 C instead of in a pan).

Grate the zest from the lemon and mix with the Parmesan and panko in a bowl. Finely chop the leaves from the remaining sprig rosemary and the chop the pine nuts and add to the panko/Parmesan mix. Combine well.

Place the flour on to a plate and beat the eggs in a small bowl.

Season the schnitzels with salt and pepper. Dust them in the flour, then dip in the beaten egg and finally press the panko mixture on firmly.

Heat 4 tablespoons oil in a frying pan and fry the schnitzels for 2-3 minutes on either side until golden brown and crispy. Cut the lemon into wedges.

Dress the lamb’s lettuce with 2 tablespoon olive oil and a few drops of balsamic vinegar. Serve the schnitzels with the salad, the fried potatoes and a wedge of lemon.
