Not counted because listed without a quantity: salt, pepper.
Only a tenth of the deep-frying fat is counted — that is what usually ends up in the food.
Computed with raw ingredients as bought. Cooking losses, peel, trimmings and what stays on the plate are not accounted for. Own dishes and ingredients “to taste” have no values.

Method
- 1
Pound the cutlets thin between sheets of cling film, season with salt and pepper.
- 2
Three plates: flour, beaten egg, breadcrumbs. Pass the cutlets through in order, press the coating on only lightly.
- 3
Heat the oil with a little butter in a large pan — the fat should be finger-deep and properly hot.
- 4
Fry the cutlets 2–3 minutes per side until golden, swirling the pan so the coating puffs away from the meat.
- 5
Drain on kitchen paper, serve with a lemon wedge.
Sides
Part of the meal: planned along with the dish, and swappable or removable in the week. Their ingredients go on the shopping list too.
