Steps

  • Simmer cider vinegar, bay leaf, coriander, cinnamon, and sugar in a saucepan.
  • Add tomatoes, salt, mustard, garlic, Tabasco, and tomato purée to the pan.
  • Boil the mixture then simmer for 30 minutes until thickened, stirring frequently.
  • Blend the mixture until smooth then push through a sieve to cool.
  • Thicken the cold sauce further by boiling or adding a cornflour paste if needed.
  • Heat deep-frying oil in a large pan or fryer to 190°C.
  • Bash pork fillets between cling film until 5mm thick.
  • Place a slice of cheese and ham onto half the pork and fold over.
  • Dredge pork in flour, then beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  • Fry the breaded pork for 3-4 minutes until golden-brown and cooked through.
  • Drain pork on kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper.
  • Fry the julienned potatoes in batches for 3-4 minutes until crisp.
  • Remove fries with a slotted spoon, drain, and season well.
  • Serve pork with fries, ketchup, parsley sprigs, and lemon wedges.
