Notes
Lamb leg or rump steaks, beaten to 1cm thickness with a meat mallet, would also work well in this recipe.
Swap dried breadcrumbs for panko crumbs; add your choice of herb, finely chopped, or some grated parmesan to the breadcrumbs for an extra flavour hit.
Use a pre-pack coleslaw salad mix from the supermarket to save time.
