After Alex’s illuminating insight into Passover yesterday<\/a> I thought it only right to have a go at making schnitzel myself, with proper matzo <\/em>meal and everything. The flattening of the turkey breasts (which I imagine is half the fun) was sadly unnecessary, as I found some ready-pounded escalopes. Still, if you end up doing this with chicken breasts then pop the breasts under a leaf of clingfilm and go hog wild with a rolling pin. If you can’t find matzo meal then buy a packet of Matzos (usually lurking in the cheese biscuit department) and grind them down.<\/p>\n

Turkey schnitzel <\/span><\/p>\n

Serves 2<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Turkey escalopes (around 300g), flattened<\/p>\n

1 beaten egg<\/p>\n

4 tablespoons matzo meal<\/p>\n

Half a lemon<\/p>\n

Salt and pepper<\/p>\n

Olive oil<\/p>\n

– Coat the escalopes in beaten egg and shake off any excess. Turn them in the matzo meal until well coated and season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

– Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and carefully place in the breaded escalopes. Fry for two minutes on each side until golden and remove to kitchen paper.<\/p>\n

– Serve, as Alex says, with fried spuds and lots of ketchup (and a squeeze of lemon juice).<\/p>\n

Needless to say, these knocked the socks off last week’s turkey twizzlers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Are you observing Pesah? If so, let me know what you’re cooking. So far I’ve heard of a Jewish grandmother cooking Thai green curry. Probably not a classic Passover dish but there you go. <\/em><\/p>\n
