Oat & Quinoa Pork Schnitzel with Apple & Red Cabbage Slaw

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 2 Coles free range pork cutlets

  • 2 free range eggs

  • 1 cup Coles plain flour for dusting

  • Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil for dressing and frying 

  • 1 large lemon (zest for crumb mixture and juice for slaw) 

Slaw

  • 1 green apple, sliced

  • ½ small red onion, sliced

  • 2 cups red cabbage, shredded

  • 1 tsp Coles dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp maple syrup

  • ½ cup flat leaf parsley 

Crumb Mixture

  • ¾ cup Red Tractor oats 

  • 1/3 cup Red Tractor tri-colour quinoa

  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs 

  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh sage and thyme 

Method

  • Pour enough oil to coat the base of a frying pan about 8mm high and heat to a medium-high heat. Mix the oats, quinoa, breadcrumbs, parmesan, herbs and lemon zest in a bowl. Place the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl and whisk the eggs in a separate third bowl. 

  • Place the pork chops onto a clean board and using a mallet (or small pot) bash the pork cutlets until they are around 1-1.5cm thick. Dust the pork in flour, then dip into the egg and then coat well in the oat mixture. Fry the pork in the oil for 3-4 minutes each side, or until cooked through. Drain on paper towel and season with salt.

  • Cut 2 small cheeks from the lemon and reserve them for serving. Juice the middle part of the lemon into a bowl. Whisk in the mustard, maple, a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of oil until emulsified. Toss the apple, onion, cabbage and parsley through the dressing and place onto serving plates.

  • Add the pork schnitzels onto serving plates with lemon cheeks and serve immediately.
