4 hake cutlets
finely grated rind of 1 lemon
1/3 cup (50 g) plain flour (All purpose)
Freshly ground white pepper
Sunflower oil for frying
3/4 cup (150 ml) 5 fl oz fromage blanc

method
1. First wash the fish cutlets and pat dry with kitchen paper. Combine the grated lemon rind with the flour and a little pepper.
2. Lightly coat the hake cutlets in the lemony flour and, using a very little oil in a heavy frying pan, quickly fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side, depending on their thickness, until cooked.
3. Transfer them to a warmed serving platter and keep warm.
4. Now gently heat the fromage blanc and chopped coriander leaves in a small saucepan to just under simmering point.
5. Trickle a little of this sauce over each cutlet and garnish with whole coriander leaves.
6. Serve the remainder of the sauce separately.
