Lemon and thyme pork schnitzel

Name: Lemon and thyme pork schnitzel
Cuisine: European, German
Ingredients: 2 x 180g pork loin steaks; 1 large egg; 2 tbsp plain flour; 75g coarse dried white breadcrumbs (Japanese panko breadcrumbs are ideal); finely grated zest of ½ lemon; 15g Parmesan cheese, finely grated; 1 heaped tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves; 300ml vegetable oil; 2 handfuls of watercress, to garnish; 1–2 tsp extra virgin olive oil, to drizzle; flaked sea salt; freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Quick and easy to put together, this light crispy pork dish is a mega taste treat, with the lemon and herbs adding plenty of zing. It’s our take on the classic Wiener schnitzel and we think it’s worthy of a place on any Viennese table. Makes a couple of pork steaks go a long way, too.
