1 tsp / 1.2 tsp minced black truffle (not truffle oil!)
1 handful flat parsley

Step 1:
To make the apple ketchup, cube the apples before adding to a tray and placing into the Dome at 300°C/572°F. Allow these cook and blister slightly it will take approx. 15 mins.
Step 2:
Steep the dates in boiling water for 10 mins then remove, add all the ketchup ingredients to a blender and blitz until smooth. Pass through a sieve and then reserve until ready to serve.
Step 3:
For the remoulade, start by making a mayonnaise from the egg yolks, squeeze of lemon and the mustards with a pinch of salt. Break this up with a whisk before streaming in the veg oil slowly, continually whisking until the mayo forms. Season with the truffle and parsley, cut the celeriac with a mandolin so it’s wafer thin.
Step 4:
Dress the celeriac with the mustard mayo, taste and adjust for seasoning/acidity.
Step 5:
To make the schnitzel, tenderise the pork loin chops and flatten out until around 1.5cm/0.5 Inches thick. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 6:
Dust with the flour then dip into beaten egg with a splash of milk, and then finally into the panko so the chop is fully coated.
Step 7:
Heat the veg oil in a pan in the Dome at 300°C/572°F. You’re aiming for the oil to be around 160-170°C/320°F-338°F. Fry the pork chop on both sides for 3-4 mins or until golden brown all over.
Step 8:
Drain off the oil, add the butter to the hot pan and baste the chop well for 2 minutes.
Step 9:
Serve the chop with the apple ketchup and remoulade. Enjoy!
