How to make it
- 1
Gently flatten the pork fillet medallions with the palm of your hand so they are an even thickness (about 1 cm). Season with salt and pepper.
- 2
Whisk the eggs in one bowl and put the finely grated parmesan in another.
- 3
Heat half the butter and olive oil in a frying pan.
- 4
Dip the pieces of meat first in the egg and then in the parmesan so they are completely coated.
- 5
Fry the meat over a medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes per side until the coating is golden brown and crisp. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
- 6
Sauté the finely chopped garlic and tomato purée in the same pan for 1 minute. Pour in the chopped tomatoes, oregano and the juice of the lemon. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- 7
In another pan, sauté the sliced courgette, diced pepper and cherry tomatoes in the rest of the fat over a high heat for 4-5 minutes so they colour nicely but keep their bite. Squeeze over a little lemon juice.
- 8
Serve the piccata with the rich tomato sauce and the sautéed vegetables.
Kitchen tips
- Keep the heat at medium when frying the piccata; too high a heat burns the parmesan before the meat is cooked through.
- Grate the parmesan really finely with a grater or microplane so it sticks to the meat best.
