Pork Schnitzel with Rosemary and Lemon
Time: 30 minutes prep, 40 minutes cook

Directions
- Remove the excess fat off the pork chops(keep it for your bean stew), remove the bones and cut the meat in smaller pieces.
- With a wooden meat mallet, thin the meat until it is about 1 cm thick.
- Place in a glass dish, season lightly, drizzle with some lemon juice and then cover with the buttermilk.
- Leave for a couple of hours, overnight is always best.
- Preheat oven to 180C
- Place all the other ingredients in your food processor and make your flavored crumbs.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
- When you are ready to cook the schnitzels, remove the meat from the buttermilk, shaking off the excess and dip the meat cutlets into the breadcrumbs.
- Place on a greased oven pan.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes until the schnitzels have cooked and the crumbs are crisp and golden brown.
- Serve with a few lemon wedges and some boiled potatoes with parsley butter.
- A green salad will work well too.
