  • 500g cherry tomatoes on the vine
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to shallow-fry
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp saffron threads
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 cup (100g) dried breadcrumbs
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried Italian herbs

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 6 x 250g veal cutlets
  • 1 large fennel, shaved on a mandoline
  • Micro radish and lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  • 1.
    Preheat oven to 200°C. Place tomatoes on a baking paper-lined baking tray and drizzle with oil and vinegar. Scatter with saffron and season.
  • 2.
    Roast for 15 minutes or until starting to burst. Drain roasting liquid into a bowl and stir in garlic. Season.
  • 3.
    Place the breadcrumbs and herbs in a bowl and season with salt. Place the our in a separate bowl. Using a rolling pin, flatten the veal cutlet meat between 2 sheets of baking paper until 1cm-thick.
  • 4.
    Coat the cutlets in flour, dip in egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat heavily in breadcrumb mixture. Heat 1cm oil in a heavy-based frypan over medium-high heat.

    In two batches cook the cutlets, turning once, for 5 minutes each side or until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towel. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
