Parmesan and polenta crusted pork schnitzels for a crispy, flavorful bite.
Ingredients:
  • 500g pork leg steaks
  • 82.50 ml plain flour
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 125.00 ml dried breadcrumbs
  • 49.50 gm fine polenta (cornmeal)
  • 25g parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • Extra light olive oil or rice bran oil, for frying
  • Coleslaw, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 130°C. Place the pork between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound it with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it's 5mm thick.
  • On a large plate, mix flour with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, gently whisk together eggs and garlic. In another shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, polenta, and parmesan.
  • Coat pork in seasoned flour, then dip in egg and coat with polenta mixture by pressing it on with fingertips to ensure a crispy crust. Microwave apple in a covered, microwave-safe bowl on MEDIUM (50%) for 3 to 4 minutes until warm.
  • Heat the oil in a large frying pan until it reaches 1cm depth and is hot over medium-high heat. Cook the schnitzels in batches for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towel and keep warm in the oven on a baking tray while cooking the remaining schnitzels. Serve with warm apple and coleslaw.
