Lemon Oregano Schnitzel on Wild Rice Broad Bean Risotto
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 handful fresh oregano, chopped
2 cups bread crumbs
1 egg
100ml water
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup wild rice
1/4 cup peeled broad beans
1/4 handful fresh flat parsley
1/4 handful fresh basil
40ml olive oil
1 large tomato, blanched & chopped
Cracked Pepper
Combine the bread crumbs, oregano and lemon zest and mix through thoroughly. Season with pepper.
Take the egg and whisk in a bowl with 100ml water.
Coat chicken schnitzel fillets in the plain flour, dip in egg wash and then into lemon oregano bread crumbs. Make sure chicken is evenly coated on both sides. Set aside.
To prepare the risotto, take ½ cup raw wild rice and place in a medium saucepan on stove with 2 cups cold water. Allow to simmer for 10 – 15 minutes until the rice is soft.
Whilst the rice is cooking, pan fry the chicken schnitzel with a little olive oil over medium heat until golden brown & cooked through.
Once the rice is cooked, drain excess water and mix with the broad beans, tomato, fresh flat leaf parsley, fresh basil, 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil and pepper to taste.
To serve: Place the risotto in centre of plate with one chicken schnitzel cut in half on top. Drizzle with a little olive oil to finish.
