Why wait for a table in a busy restaurant on a Friday night when you can cook this Middle-Eastern inspired meal at home in less than 30 minutes.

Preparation

  1. Make a horizontal cut through the center of the veal cutlets, cutting almost all the way through. Stuff evenly with feta slices and preserved lemon and seal opening with toothpicks.
  2. Dip cutlets in polenta until coated. Heat a frypan with butter and oil and pan-fry cutlets for 2-3 minutes on either side or until browned. Transfer to an oven tray and bake for a further 5-10 minutes or until cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, bring the stock to the boil and add cous cous. Remove from heat and cover for 5 minutes or until the stock is absorbed. Loosen cous cous with a fork and stir in parsley, extra butter and preserved lemon. Serve with cutlets.
  4. NOTE:When using preserved lemon, remove the flesh and only use the rind.
