Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Coat the pork chops in the beaten egg. Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, lemon zest and salt and dip the egg-washed pork chops into the crumbs until evenly coated.

Heat the butter and olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Cook the chops until golden. Finish off in the oven for 10 minutes.

To make the caponata, heat 4 T olive oil in a pan. Cook the brinjals until soft and charred. Add the pine nuts, garlic and chilli and cook for 1 minute. Toss with the remaining caponata ingredients.

Serve the chops with the caponata and radicchio dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.
