Crispy pork schnitzel meets fresh Mediterranean flavours in this delicious recipe by Helena Moursellas. Paired with a vibrant lettuce and feta salad, it brings together crunchy textures and fresh, bright flavours in every bite. Crafted with Maldon Sea Salt, it’s a simple, crowd-pleasing meal that’s sure to become a favourite.
- Place the pork steaks between two sheets of baking paper and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten them evenly. This helps tenderise the meat and ensures even cooking.
- Place the fresh bread crumbs into a shallow bowl and mix in the parmesan, salt flakes, chili flakes and lemon zest. Add the flour in a bowl and season with Maldon Sea Salt flakes and the lightly beaten eggs in another bowl.
- Coat each pork steak in flour, dip into the beaten egg, then press into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
- To make the dressing whisk together lemon juice, dried oregano, oil and season with salt flakes. Set aside.
- Heat 1cm of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, fry the pork steak for 4-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pork from the pan and place them straight onto a plate lined with a paper towel to help absorb all excess oil.
- In a large bowl combine the lettuce, spring onion, herbs and scatter with feta. Toss the salad with the dressing and mix to combine.
- Slice pork schnitzels and serve alongside lettuce salad.

Inspired by the vibrant flavours of Greece, Helena Moursellas’ pork and feta meatball gyros are a fresh and satisfying take on a family favourite. Wrapped in soft homemade yoghurt flatbreads and seasoned with Maldon Sea Salt, they’re packed with savoury goodness, creamy feta and plenty of texture. Perfect for casual entertaining or a relaxed weeknight dinner.
- To make the flatbread, place the flour, baking powder, oregano leaves and one tablespoon Maldon Sea Salt flakes in a large bowl and mix to combine. Make a well in the center and add the yoghurt, mix with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
- Place the dough onto a clean work surface and dust with a little extra flour. Knead the dough for 5-8 minutes until the dough comes together, then divide into 8 equal pieces.
- Dust a rolling pin with flour and roll the pieces of dough out into small circles (about 14 cm in diameter). Place a frying pan over medium heat, drizzle the pan with oil and cook pita bread for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly charred. Repeat with remaining flatbread and place into a warm oven until ready to serve.
- Meanwhile in a large bowl combine pork mince, feta, herbs, onion, egg, flour, dried oregano and 1 tablespoon Maldon Sea Salt flakes. Mix until well combined.
- Roll 1 tablespoon of mixture into meatballs and repeat with the remaining mince.
- Heat a large fry pan over medium heat, add olive oil and shallow fry meatballs, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- To assemble, spread the flatbread with tzatziki, pork & feta meatballs, sliced tomatoes, onion and extra oregano leaves.
