Thyme Pork Schnitzels

While the chips are baking, pick the thyme leaves. Slice the apple (see ingredients) into thin wedges. Grate the carrot (see ingredients).

TIP: Hold each thyme sprig at the top, then gently run your fingers down to remove the leaves. If the stems are very soft, you can just chop them instead.

In a large bowl, combine the honey, vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and use a fork or whisk to combine. Set aside.

In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour, the salt and a good pinch of pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and thyme. Separate the pork schnitzels (they may be stuck together). Dip each pork schnitzel into the seasoned flour, followed by the egg and finally into the panko mixture. Transfer to a plate.

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the base. When the oil is hot, cook the pork in batches until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.

TIP: Add extra oil between batches if needed.
