Fennel & celery salad
This simple salad is a refreshingly crisp and crunchy addition to any meal
Season the pork all over. Mix the crumbs, cheese and sage on a plate. Pour the egg onto another plate and mix in some salt and pepper. Dip the escalopes first in the egg, then into the crumbs, pressing them on to coat evenly. They can be chilled for up to 24 hrs at this stage.
Pour boiling water over the tomatoes, leave for 1 min, then drain and peel. Quarter, scoop out and discard the seeds, then chop the flesh. Put the tomatoes into a small pan with 1 tbsp of the oil, salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 2-3 mins. Throw in the capers and keep warm.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a small pan, throw in the sage leaves and fry until they start to crisp, 1-2 mins, then scoop out and drain on kitchen paper. Heat remaining 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan, add pork and fry until browned (lift up a corner with tongs to check). Flip over and cook for 3-4 mins until done. Scatter with sage leaves, and serve with lemon wedges and the tomato sauce on the side.
