Make Curtis Stone's crumbed pork chops for a mouthwatering family dinner!
Ingredients:
  • 4 pork loin chops (about 250g each), rind and fat trimmed
  • 125.00 ml plain flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 375.00 ml panko breadcrumbs
  • 115.00 gm toasted walnuts, divided
  • 80g butter, divided
  • 91.00 gm olive oil, divided
  • 62.50 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped shallots
  • 1000.00 ml (70g; not packed) baby rocket leaves
  • 1 Williams pear (about 210g), cut into matchsticks
  • 1 fennel bulb, thinly shaved
  • 3 celery stalks, thinly sliced, leaves separated
  • 125.00 ml fresh mint leaves, torn
Instructions:
  • Season the pork with salt and pepper. Spread flour on a plate. Whisk eggs in a wide shallow bowl. Blend panko and 1/2 cup of walnuts until finely ground in a small food processor. Transfer nut mixture to a plate. Dip each pork piece lightly in flour, then in eggs, and finally coat with nut mixture. Press firmly to coat and arrange on a baking tray. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Melt half of the butter (20g) with half of the oil (1/2 tablespoon) in each nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Place 2 pork chops in each pan and cook for 5 minutes until golden brown on one side. Flip the pork and cook for an additional 4 minutes until the other side is golden brown. Remove pork from the pans onto a plate lined with paper towels. Let the pork rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  • In a medium bowl, combine vinegar and shallots, then gradually whisk in the rest of the 3 tablespoons of oil. In a large bowl, mix rocket, pears, fennel, celery stalks and leaves, and mint with 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette. Season the salad with salt to taste.
  • Transfer the salad onto 4 plates and sprinkle the remaining walnuts over them. Add the pork on the plates along with any leftover vinaigrette.
