I love this dish. The same process will work with all meats, even meats that can be notoriously dry, such as pork loin and venison steaks. The coating seals in the moisture, making the meat juicy and moist.
Ingredients
Schnitzel
- 4 chicken thighs, (roughly 150g) or the equivalent weight of skinned chicken breast or turkey breast slices, pork fillet, leg of lamb slices, topside of beef, venison steaks or even pheasant
- 5 tbsp cornflour or arrowroot

- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Salad

Dressing
- 6 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp miso paste
- 1 pinch sugar

Instructions
- Make the salad by chopping all the ingredients small add the peas. (you should be able to eat the salad with a spoon)
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing and pour over the salad. Mix well and leave to marinate whilst you prepare and cook the schnitzels.
- Using a large zip lock bag. Place the meat between a large piece of clear plastic, add a little water, and beat out until nice and thin with a rolling pin
- Coat each one in a little cornflour or arrowroot, then beaten egg and breadcrumbs, pat well.
- Fry each one in oil and unsalted butter until cooked through and nicely browned.
