The Lioness Pork Schnitzel by The Lioness of Leith
BACK by popular demand this summer, the Lioness Schnitzel is light and crisp with just the perfect amount of citrus zing. Serve with summer slaw and crispy skin-on red rooster potatoes, and garnish with deep-fried carrot ribbon and a freshly cut lemon wedge.
The dish is enjoyed best while sipping a Lioness cocktail: Apples & Pears or the Rhubarb & Marmalade.
In the shell of a derelict pub with a dark history in the heart of Leith, Edinburgh, The Lioness of Leith opened as a bar/bistro in December 2013.
We are proud to serve seasonal modern European and British cuisine alongside premium local and international drinks.
With our inventive cocktails, award-winning teas and coffee, you can be sure of quality, great taste and local sourcing whenever possible. Lunch is served daily until 5pm with our evening menu available all day,
every day.
Both menus change seasonally, with daily specials and desserts adding additional choice and variation.

Ingredients: Serves 4
4 pork loin steaks
¼ cup olive oil
1 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp salt
2 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1-2 pinches chilli flakes
Crumb
1 cup plain flour, well seasoned
1-2 eggs
1 packet of panko breadcrumbs, to cover
Method
1 Trim fat off the pork loins and flatten into escallops about 5-10mm thick.
2 Mix all the other ingredients (except the meat) together. Once combined massage into the pork until all the escallops are evenly covered. Leave to marinate in a fridge for two to three hours.
3 Once marinated, coat each of the pork escallops with the plain flour to begin making the pork schnitzel.
4 Beat together the eggs in a shallow bowl then dip in the floured pork one by one. Lay each of the pieces of pork in the panko breadcrumbs and turn over until all of them are fully coated.
5 Shallow fry the schnitzels in a large frying pan until crisp and golden.
6 Serve as suggested or get creative and create your own version. Enjoy!

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
