Ingredients

4 pork loin chops
2 free-range eggs, beaten
2 cups breadcrumbs (made with dry ciabatta)
60 g Parmesan, grated
¼ lemon, zested
salt, to taste
1 T butter
olive oil, for frying
radicchio, for serving (optional)
For the caponata:
6 T olive oil
10 baby brinjals, cut into chunks
20 g pine nuts, toasted
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 red chilli, finely chopped
10 pitted green olives
10 pitted black olives
8 anchovies
10 caperberries, halved
6 T Italian parsley, roughly chopped
4 T red wine vinegar
1 lemon, juiced

Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Coat the pork chops in the beaten egg. Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, lemon zest and salt and dip the egg-washed pork chops into the crumbs until evenly coated.

Heat the butter and olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Cook the chops until golden. Finish off in the oven for 10 minutes.

To make the caponata, heat 4 T olive oil in a pan. Cook the brinjals until soft and charred. Add the pine nuts, garlic and chilli and cook for 1 minute. Toss with the remaining caponata ingredients.

Serve the chops with the caponata and radicchio dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.
