Ingredients
- • 500 g passata
- • 1 tsp garlic granules
- • 1 tsp onion granules
- • 1 tsp dried oregano
- • 1/2-1 tsp granulated sweetener ((or sugar))
- • salt and freshly ground black pepper
- • 4 100g pork loin steaks (trimmed of fat)
- • zest of 1 lemon (finely grated)
- • 1 tsp dried parsley
- • 15 g Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- • 30 g panko breadcrumbs
- • 1 tbsp cornflour
- • 1 medium egg (beaten)
- • 125 g reduced-fat mozzarella (sliced)
- • low-calorie cooking spray
Preparation Steps
Place the passata, garlic granules, onion granules, and oregano into a saucepan. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, while you prepare the pork steaks. Stir occasionally to make sure it doesn't catch.
Using a rolling pin or a meat mallet, lightly bash the pork steaks, to a 1/2cm thick escalope.
Mix the lemon zest, parsley, Parmesan, and panko together on a plate, and beat the egg on another plate.
Dust the pork with the cornflour, then dip into the egg, then into the panko mix, to coat lightly.
Spray the air fryer basket with low-calorie cooking spray, place the pork directly onto the basket, spray the tops of the pork with low-calorie cooking spray and cook 200°C for 12 minutes, or until the pork is cooked and the breadcrumbs are crisp.
Taste the sauce and add sweetener and salt and pepper, if required.
Spoon the sauce on top of the pork, then top with the sliced mozzarella. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and bubbling. Serve!
