Pork cutlets with herb crust

6 pork chops or steaks
salt and freshly ground pepper
25 ml olive oil
200 – 250 ml fine, white breadcrumbs
100 ml finely chopped fresh parsley
10 - 15 ml chopped fresh herbs (eg thyme/sage/origanum)
2 – 3 cloves garlic, finely crushed

Method

Season the chops or steaks with salt and pepper. Heat half of the oil and lightly brown the chops/steaks on both sides. Mix the rest of the oil with the breadcrumbs, parsley, herbs and garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange pork cutlets on a baking sheet and press the breadcrumbs mixture onto each cutlet to cover the surface of the meat. Place in a preheated oven at 200 C for 10 – 20 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and a light golden brown.

For a gourmet touch, serve with a generous dollop of sour cream on the side.
