Pork cutlets are seen as one of those ‘boring’ cuts of meat. But Colin Fassnidge has turned that theory on its head, with a green crust filled with herby, nutty goodness. It will only take 20 minutes to prep, and a whopping 10 minutes to cook!
Ingredients
Method
For the green crust, put rocket, onion, garlic, sage, mint, pine nuts, breadcrumbs and parmesan in a blender and process until a green crumb forms. Transfer to a bowl.
Place pork on a clean plate and season. Dip in the beaten egg, then the green crumb mix, pressing on firmly.
Pour oil into frying pan to a depth of 1cm, then heat over medium heat. Shallow-fry cutlets in batches for 3–4 minutes each side, until golden.
Scatter pork with zest and extra parmesan. Serve with wilted rocket (see tip) and lemon cheeks.
