A recipe by Gary Rhodes
“These Pork escalopes are pan-fried in my special breadcrumbs, and finished with a tangy garlic and lemon butter. You can also serve them with spaghetti, tossing the pasta in the butter and adding lots of chopped basil and parsley.”
Serves 4
Ingredients: Garlic butter: 4 oz (100g) butter; 2-3 garlic cloves, crushed; ½ onion, chopped; zest and juice of 1 lemon

- For the garlic and lemon butter, melt 1/2oz (15g) of the butter and fry garlic and onion for about 5 minutes. Add lemon zest and juice, cool. Beat the mixture into remaining butter and wrap in clingfilm. Roll the butter into a cylindrical shape and then refrigerate.
- For the pork, mix breadcrumbs with anchovies, Parmesan and olives. Season with pepper, put to one side. Place pork slices between 2 sheets of clingfilm, flatten with a rolling pin. Season pork, dust with flour, Dip in egg, coat in breadcrumbs. Criss cross with a knife to make grill-like markings.
