Method

  1. Trim off any visible fat from the pork and season with a little pepper. Beat the egg white with a fork in a shallow dish. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a plate. Coat pork first in egg, then in breadcrumbs. Chill to set the coating until ready to cook.
  2. Tip the tomatoes into a pan with the chilli, garlic and sugar. Bring to the boil, then simmer for about 10 mins until thickened. Brush aubergine slices lightly on both sides with a little of the oil. Grill for 3-4 mins each side until tender and golden.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the pork and fry for 3-4 mins each side until golden brown. Serve each pork escalope topped with aubergine slices and a spoonful of tomato sauce, with some green beans on the side, if you like.

Try with pork fillet

If you can't find pork escalopes choose lean slices of pork fillet and bat them out with a rolling pin.

    Really lovely! I think I added a little too much oil to the aubergines so they were a bit soggy, but the pork was delicious. Can't comment on the tomato sauce as I made a white sauce instead

    Really yummy and simple! Definitely try this one. I couldn't get my aubergines to crisp up as much as i would've hoped, but think it's user error!

    This was delicious. I used a little less oil to make my auberigne crisp and also sprinkled with seasoning and oregano to compliment the tomato sauce.
