Herbed pork cutlets

serves 4
ingredients
1 egg
75g/3oz dried breadcrumbs
50g/2oz fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped
fresh oregano
1 tablespoon freshly grated
Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
450g/1lb pork cutlets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper
• In a shallow dish, lightly beat the egg. In a separate dish, stir together
the breadcrumbs, basil, oregano, Parmesan, thyme, salt and pepper.
• Dip the pork into the egg to coat well, then press into the breadcrumb
mixture, turning to coat all over.
• In a large frying pan, heat half the oil over a medium heat. Working in
batches, cook the pork for 8–10 minutes until just a hint of pink remains
inside, turning once during the cooking time and adding the remaining
oil if necessary. Remove from the pan and divide among four serving
plates. Serve hot with accompanying salad or vegetables.
