How to make Pork and cabbage rolls
1. If the chops are not thin enough put between a sheet of clingfilm and bash until about as thin as a 10p piece

3. Once cook cool down as quick as you can in cold water. Drain,
4. Cut out the V-shaped stalk, keeping the whole leaf as one. Cut each leaf in half lengthways.
5. Lay a bashed chop on your chopping board or work surface., then 2 pieces of cabbage leaf on top
6. Roll as tightly as you can then use a cocktail stick or two to hold together
7. Place on a baking tray and chill for 10 minutes. (Do this with all the chops)
8. Beat the eggs and mix with the milk.
9. Remove cocktail sticks and dip pork rolls in the egg mixture and then in the breadcrumbs to coat.
10. Heat some oil in a wide deep pan
11. Fry the rolls for 6-8minutes, turning, until the pork is cooked through, and the breadcrumbs are golden.
12. Drain on kitchen paper.
HINTS & TIPS
