Ingredients

Beef schnitzel

  • Oil, for frying
  • 500g beef schnitzel
  • 70g (½ cup) flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten in a wide bowl
  • 110g panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon of your favourite spices (optional)

Pear and walnut salad

  • 120g seasonal salad leaves
  • 2 pears, thinly sliced
  • 3 medium carrots, thinly sliced or cut into matchsticks
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 70g (¾ cup) walnuts (optional)

Optional

  • To serve: 2 tablespoons of your favourite salad dressing (optional)
  • 4 small wholemeal pita bread

Method

  1. Combine the salad ingredients together in a large bowl, set aside. If you have kids who prefer to eat their salad veges separately, keep some aside for them.
  2. Heat enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of a frying pan on the stove over medium-high heat. (For instructions on how to cook the schnitzel in the oven, see the cooking tips below)
  3. Prepare the schnitzel ingredients by placing each ingredient on a plate or wide bowl.
  4. Coat each piece of beef lightly with flour, egg, then breadcrumbs and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Continue this step until all the beef is cooked.
  5. Serve the schnitzel with the salad. If using the pita bread serve this alongside or fill with salad, schnitzel and your favourite sauce, chutney or pickle.
