Preparation
Boil the potatoes
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Medium-dice the potatoes. Add to the pot of boiling water and boil, 11 to 13 min., until tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Add a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P; toss well.
Prepare the pork schnitzel
Meanwhile, pat the pork dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a shallow bowl, combine ½ the mayo and 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Place the panko in a second shallow bowl. Working one at a time, coat the pork in the mayo mixture (shaking off any excess), then in the panko (pressing to adhere).
Cook the pork schnitzel
In a large, high-sided pan, heat a thin layer of oil on medium-high. Add the pork schnitzel* and cook, 3 to 4 min. per side, until golden brown and cooked through (add more oil as needed to keep a thin layer at the bottom). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; season with S&P. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, quarter the zucchini lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise. Remove the stem ends of the string peas; pull off the tough string that runs the length of each pod. Halve each pod crosswise. Finely chop the cornichons. Halve the lemon; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½. Mince the garlic.
Sauté the vegetables
In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the zucchini and string peas. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until crisp-tender. Add ½ the lemon juice and S&P; stir well.
Make the potato salad & serve
To the bowl of potatoes, add the cornichons, remaining lemon juice and mayo, and a drizzle of oil; toss well. Divide the potato salad, pork schnitzel and vegetables between your plates. Garnish with the lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
