First up, Andy Harmer’s Veal Cutlet with a few home friendly tweaks.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 200g Breaded bone in veal cutlet (or you can use chicken schnitzel)
• 1x bunch picked flat leaf parley
• 1x sliced shallot
• 100ml red wine vinegar
• pinch of sugar
• 10g capers
• 100ml Olive oil
• Celeriac, apple & mustard slaw
• Kewpie mayo
• Finely grated Pecorino
• Red wine sauce/packet gravy
• Bone marrow (optional, you can stick with gravy)
• Butter

Recipe preparation: 

Start by grating the celeriac and apple, then mix a teaspoon of Dijon mustard and a tablespoon of Mayonnaise to create your sauce.

Grab yourself a pot and bring your vinegar and a pinch of sugar to boil. Pour over your sliced shallots and then leave it to cool.

Next up, fry your capers in a bit of oil until crispy and put them aside.

Gently warm your sauce, and if you manage to find a few pieces of bone marrow from your local supermarket or deli, add them in and leave to dissolve.

Take a frying pan, bring it to a medium heat and add some oil. Add your cutlet (or chicken) and cook for around 3 minutes. Once brown, turn it over and repeat on the other side until golden. Once golden, add a knob of butter (yum).

Spoon the foaming butter over the cutlet, season to your liking and leave it to rest on a chopping board.

Whilst the cutlet is resting, place your parsley, capers, pickled shallots and a drizzle of olive oil into a bowl, then season with salt and pepper.

Plating up:

Once rested, slice your cutlet into 7 strips, pop it onto your plate and place the apple and celeriac slaw next to the cutlet. Place your salad on top of the cutlet then finely grate a generous amount of Pecorino cheese over the top.

Serve with bone marrow sauce or gravy and enjoy!
