Instructions

Before you start

  1. Bring a steamer pot of hot tap water to a boil. Boil a jug of water.

Cook potatoes

  1. Wash and cut the unpeeled 600 g potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Cook the potato in the steamer pot of boiling water for 12-15 minutes. Drain the pot. Set the potato aside to cool.

Prep schnitzel

  1. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, whisk 1 tbsp barbecue seasoning, a pinch of salt and 1 egg until combined. In a second shallow bowl, grate in 50 g parmesan cheese and add ½ cup panko breadcrumbs. Dip 500 g pork schnitzel into the egg mixture, then the parmesan-panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

Cook schnitzel

  1. Heat a large frypan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to cover the base. When oil is hot, cook pork schnitzel for 1-2 minutes on each side (in batches if needed) until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve the pan.

Make sauce

  1. Grate 50 g cheddar cheese. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small pot on medium heat. Cook the cheese, 2 tsp Dijon mustard, ½ cup coconut cream and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until warmed through. Season with pepper.
    Tip: Add a splash of water if you prefer a runnier sauce.

Make salad

  1. Adding to a bowl as you go - slice 1 cucumber in half lengthwise, then thinly slice. Roughly chop 1 baby cos lettuce. Peel and julienne or grate 1 carrot. Finely slice 1 bunch parsley. Add 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp olive oil and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

To finish

  1. Add ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp honey and 1 tsp Dijon mustard to the drained steamer pot and whisk to combine. Then transfer the cooled potatoes in and season with salt and pepper. Gently stir to combine.
    TIP: Add a splash of water if the potato looks dry.

To serve

  1. Divide the creamy potatoes, cucumber cos salad and crispy pork schnitzel between plates. Drizzle the mustard sauce over the pork.
