Gluten-Free Pork Schnitzel
Ingredients
600 g pork tenderloin
½ cup cornstarch
2 eggs
2 cup fresh gluten-free breadcrumbs*
salt and pepper
butter and vegetable oil, for cooking
lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
1. Cut the pork tenderloin into 8 pieces. Place each portion, one at a time, into a re-sealable bag and flatten using the flat side of a meat tenderizer or even the bottom of a pot.
2. Measure the cornstarch onto a plate and whisk the eggs lightly in a separate bowl. Place the breadcrumbs onto another plate and season lightly, stirring to mix.
3. Melt a bit of butter along with the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Dip each pork tender portion in the cornstarch, shaking off any excess, and then dip this into the egg, followed by a complete coating of the breadcrumbs. Place the schnitzels into the hot pan (you may have to cook them in batches) and cook for about 4 minutes on each side. Serve the schnitzel with wedges of lemon on the side.
4. * To make gluten-free breadcrumbs, pulse stale (2-3 day old) gluten-free bread in a food processor until they are of a fine crumb. Any remaining breadcrumbs can be frozen for later use.

Gluten-Free Eggplant Parmesan
Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp tomato paste
Kosher salt
1 (28-oz) can whole tomatoes, crushed well by hand
1 cup torn fresh basil leaves
2 ¼ cups almond flour
2 large eggs
2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds, ends discarded (about 2 1/2 lbs)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
¼ cup grated Parmesan
2 Tbsp fresh parsley leaves, chopped
Directions
1. Position 2 oven racks in the center and upper third of the oven, and preheat to 425ºF. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
2. Cook the oil, tomato paste, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring, until the oil turns yellow, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes. Rinse the can with about 1 1/2 cups water, and add the tomato water and basil to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, put the almond flour in a medium bowl. Whisk the eggs and 3 tablespoons water in another medium bowl until frothy.
4. Lay out the eggplant on a clean surface, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Dip the eggplant in the egg, press into the almond flour to coat, then place on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the eggplant is tender and the crust is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets if the top one is browning too quickly.
5. Turn the oven to broil. Spread a little of the sauce on the bottom of a broiler-safe 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange half the eggplant in the dish in as close to an even layer as you can without overlapping too much. Spread half the remaining sauce on top, then 1/4 cup of the mozzarella. Top with the remaining eggplant, sauce and mozzarella and the Parmesan. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the parsley over the top, and serve immediately, while the cheese is still warm.
