Method

  1. Heat a large non-stick frying pan. Season the pork slices and dust with a little seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Heat 1 tsp of oil and brown the pork in batches on both sides. Remove from the pan and add another tsp oil. Cook the shallot with some seasoning until soft. Add the lemon juice, stock and wine. Bubble up for a few minutes then add the meat back in along with the capers. Cook gently for 4-5 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
  2. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with steamed broccoli.

    Left out the capers and added a teaspoon of sugar to please my fussy husband and kids. Thought it was lovely and very simple for a quick dinner in the middle of the week.

    yum. really lovely delicate and complex flavours. I used spray oil and a little less flour as I'm on a dlet. This meant that the sauce was a little runny but still very tasty :-)

    thought this was disgusting. Far too lemony and had a bitter taste to the dish. I ended up adding cream to the sauce to try and make it palatable ... but it was still too acidic. Won't make this ever again
