Method

Put the pork chops between sheets of cling film and bash with a rolling pin until doubled in size. Dust in seasoned plain flour.
Whisk the egg in a bowl. In another, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the parmesan. Dip the pork in the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Chill for 10 minutes.
Put the couscous into a bowl. Pour over the vegetable stock, season and set aside.

Fry the pork in the vegetable oil for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked. Mix the parsley, red onion, lemon juice and the olive oil into the couscous. Serve with the pork.
