Ingredients
- 1 cup (150 g) plain flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp dried saltbush flakes
- 2 tbsp ground bush tomato
- 1 tsp ground pepperberry
- 1 tbsp ground wattleseed
- 600 g wild boar (see Note)
- Vegetable oil, for shallow-frying
For the native salsa verde
- 1 cup warrigal greens, thinly sliced
- ½ cup fresh saltbush leaves, thinly sliced
- ½ tsp dried saltbush flakes
- ½ cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, thinly sliced
- ½ tsp ground pepperberry
- 1 tsp ground bush tomato
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 eschallot, finely chopped
- ¼ cup (60 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup (60 ml) red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- To make the native salsa verde, combine the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well to combine, ensuring the sugar has fully dissolved. Set aside until needed.
- To make the wild boar cotoletta, prepare a crumbing station of three shallow bowls – place the plain flour in the first, whisk the eggs with a fork in the second, then combine the breadcrumbs, saltbush, bush tomatoes, ground pepperberry and wattleseed in the third.
- Cut the wild boar into ½ cm thin slices, then use a meat mallet to flatten out to 2mm thick. Dip each slice of wild boar into the flour, beaten egg and seasoned breadcrumbs, turning to coat at each stage so each piece is fully coated.
- Heat enough oil to shallow-fry in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, pan-fry the wild boar cotoletta for 2 minutes each side, or until golden-brown and cooked through. Remove to a paper-towel lined tray to drain off any excess oil, then repeat until all the cotoletta is cooked.
- Transfer the wild boar cotoletta to a large serving plate. Spoon the native salsa verde over the cotoletta and serve.
Note
- You can source wild boar meat from your butcher, but if you can't find it, substitute with thin pork loin steaks.
