If you take a look through the recipe archives on Supergolden Bakes, you will find an abundance of pork recipes. These tend to be mostly slow-cooked pork shoulder recipes – because pulled pork is truly comfort food of the gods. Delicious, yes, but not the healthiest cut of pork and definitely not quick to cook

A couple of weeks ago I was introduced to a new cut which is delicious as well as super-quick to cook, very low in fat and sodium and naturally rich in protein. This rather less well known cut is pork medallions – oval cuts of pork loin with the fat trimmed – and they simply need 2-3 minutes per side making them perfect for midweek meals.

LovePork event at L'Atelier de ChefsLovePork hosted an event at L’Atelier de Chefs with Olympic swimmer, Rebecca Adlington, demonstrating a one of her favourite recipes for sticky pork medallions. We then got stuck in and recreated the recipe ourselves and I must say it was delicious and ready to eat in mere minutes.

Thankfully my notoriously picky kids were totally onboard with this when I got round to making the recipe at home. And so I was inspired to create something new for them, pork schnitzel with creamy mushroom sauce. Schnitzel was one of my absolute favourite meals as a kid – my mom still makes it whenever we visit.

The trick to tender and juicy pork medallions is not to overcook them. Simply place the medallions between cling film and flatten them slightly with a rolling pin so that they cook evenly. I decided to cover mine with breadcrumbs, Parmesan and just a bit of lemon zest and I must say they were just so totally YUM 🙂

As for the mushroom sauce, I could eat that with a spoon straight from the pot, it’s that addictive. Serve with mash or boiled new potatoes and some broccoli spears and make sure to thank me later.

    I’ve been singing ‘Schnitzel with Noodles’ from Sound of Music all the way through reading this post. These sound lush and its such a great cut of pork for midweek meals.

    There;s something very special about anything in breadcrumbs, it adds so much texture. I don’t think I’ve ever made schnitzel, I may have to remedy that!

    This looks delicious! I love schnitzel but have always presumed it would be quite tricky to cook. Youve made it look so easy!
