Pork cutlets with lemon and rosemary stuffing
These golden and crunchy pork cutlets are simple to prepare and cook, but don’t be overgenerous with the rosemary – you want merely a whiff of it or it will taste medicinal instead of giving a pleasant savoury note.

Ingredients
Pork cutlets with lemon and rosemary stuffing
- 4 pork cutlets
- finely grated zest 1 lemon
- 1/2 tablespoon chopped rosemary
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan or grana padano
- flaky sea salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup verjuice or white wine
- 200 gram broccolini, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup shelled, toasted and peeled hazelnuts, chopped
Method
Pork cutlets with lemon and rosemary stuffing
- 1Using a small sharp knife, cut pockets in the meaty parts of the cutlets for the stuffing. In a small bowl mix lemon zest, rosemary, garlic and parmesan. Add a few pinches of flaky sea salt and a good grinding of black pepper. Stuff the seasoning into the pockets and gently press meat together to seal.
- 2Heat a large frying pan, or one big enough to hold the cutlets, over a medium heat. Add the olive oil, then 2 tablespoons butter. Add the cutlets once the butter is sizzling and cook for 3–5 minutes on each side until browned. Do not overcook; check the plumpest piece of the cutlets – the meat should still be pink. Transfer cutlets to a warmed plate. Pour off fat from pan and add verjuice or white wine. Bubble up, then pour over cutlets.
- 3For the broccolini, blanch in a pan of gently boiling salted water for 30 seconds, drain and refresh with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and arrange on a platter.
- 4Sizzle remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a clean pan and let the butter foam then colour to a nut brown. Quickly add lemon juice – it will sizzle – and pour it steaming over the broccolini. Scatter with hazelnuts and serve with cutlets.
