Method

  1. Use a meat tenderizer to flatten each duck leg (sandwiching the meat between 2 freezer bags will assist).
  2. Beat the eggs & milk together with a pinch of salt & a couple of turns of the pepper mill.
  3. Mix the crumbs with the lemon zest, parsley & parmesan, add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Lightly dust the legs in the flour, then coat them with the egg, then coat them with the crumbs, taking care to press the crumbs on firmly.
  5. Place the crumbed legs on a tray in the fridge until you are ready to cook them.
  6. Shallow fry the crumbed leg in olive oil on a medium heat till golden brown on one side, flip over and place in the oven until cooked through.
  7. To make the Italian coleslaw, chop all the ingredients finely and dress with parmesan lemon juice, olive oil and season well.

Chef’s Tips

Instead of pairing the shnitzel with Italian coleslaw, try a red cabbage and pomegranate salad.

This is a REAL crowd pleaser. All the coating is SO worth the effort. Shall certainly be doing this again and next time I think I’ll make the salad too!
