Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9 / air fryer 200C
  • Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
  • Pull out a rolling pin, a grater, a large frying pan, a small bowl & a medium bowl

Get the fries into the oven

  • Cut the potatoes into fries
  • Place onto a lined baking tray with the oregano, 1 tsp oil and a pinch of salt and toss to coat
  • Bake for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins, turning halfway through, until soft and golden

Panko the pork

  • Zest and quarter the lemon
  • On a large plate, combine the lemon zest, panko crumb and a good pinch of salt and pepper
  • In the large bowl, combine the cornflour with 2 tbsp water. Stir into a thick paste
  • Add the pork to a chopping board and cover with a sheet of parchment paper
  • Bash the pork with a rolling pin until evenly flattened
  • Season each side with salt, then coat the pork in the cornflour mix. Shake off the excess, then press into the breadcrumbs firmly to evenly coat all over

Get sizzlin'

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on a medium heat. Once hot, place the pork schnitzels into the pan and fry for 2 mins on each side, until golden brown
  • Transfer to the other baking tray and place in the oven for 10 mins, until cooked through

Make the salad

  • Halve the tomatoes. Thinly slice the onion
  • Thoroughly wash the cornflour bowl, then add the tomatoes and onion. Toss with the squeeze of lemon
  • In the small bowl, combine the yoghurt, garlic herb paste and a squeeze of lemon. Season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Check your meat is cooked through; it should be golden brown, steaming hot, the juices should run clear when cut and there should be no pink / rare meat inside
  • Share the pork schnitzels between plates, with the fries and salad alongside. Top the schnitzel with a dollop of garlic yoghurt, dip the fries in the remaining
  • Serve the remaining lemon wedges on the side
