Ingredients

4
boneless pork loin steaks
75 g
plain flour
1
large egg, beaten
100 g
panko breadcrumbs
4 Tbsp.
veg oil

For the slaw

2
red apples
1
fennel
Juice 1 lemon, plus wedges to serve
1/4
white cabbage, cored and finely shredded
10
sage leaves, finely chopped
100 ml
buttermilk
2 Tbsp.
mayonnaise
1 tsp.
Dijon mustard
1/2 Tbsp.
cider vinegar

Directions

1. Step 1Trim any fat from the pork steaks. Put a steak between 2 pieces of baking parchment and bash with a rolling pin to an even 1cm thickness. Repeat with remaining steaks.
2. Step 2Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs into 3 separate shallow bowls. Mix some seasoning into the flour bowl. Coat each flattened pork steak first in flour (tap off excess), then beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs.
3. Step 3Heat 2 large non-stick frying pans over medium high heat and add 1tbsp oil to each pan. Add 2 schnitzels to each pan and fry for 3-4min per side, adding a further 1tbsp oil to each pan when flipping, and frying until golden and cooked through.
4. Step 4Meanwhile, make the 'slaw. Halve, core and finely slice the apples and fennel. Working quickly to stop them discolouring, put into a large bowl with the lemon juice and toss to coat. Add the cabbage and sage.
5. Step 5In a small bowl or jug, whisk the remaining 'slaw ingredients with plenty of seasoning. Add this dressing to the 'slaw bowl and toss gently to mix and coat. Serve with the schnitzels and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
