Lemon, Parmesan & pine nut crumbed pork escalopes
The addition of pine nuts and Parmesan in the zesty crumb coating gives an irresistible golden crunch and distinctive flavour to the finished dish – try serving with a crisp salad or vegetables. As an alternative to pork, you can use chicken breast or British rose veal.
