Ingredients

4 small or 2 large pork escalopes, about 300g in total
75g dried breadcrumbs
1tsp ground black pepper
1 large egg, beaten
flour for dusting
olive oil
2 large handfuls of pea shoots
1/2 small onion, finely sliced
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 lemon, half juiced, half in wedges
lemon or lime mayonnaise to serve

  1. Put the pork between 2 sheets of cling film and bash gently to uniform thickness. Mix the breadcrumbs, pepper and some salt together and spread over a plate. Put the egg on the other plate. Dust the pork in a little flour, then dip in the egg and coat in the breadcrumbs.

  2. Heat 2-3 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan. Add the schnitzel and fry on each side for 3 mins until crisp and golden.

  3. While the pork is cooking, put the pea shoots, onion and tomatoes in a bowl and dress with lemon juice, olive oil and season. Toss together, then serve with the pork, some lemon wedges and a dollop of mayonnaise.
