Jägerschnitzel Pork Schnitzel With Red Wine Mushroom Sauce Recipes

JAEGERSCHNITZEL (SCHNITZEL WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE)

Steps:

• Finely dice the onion/shallot and slice the mushrooms. Add around 1tbsp (30g) butter to a medium-large wide skillet/frying pan and add the onions. Cook for around 5 minutes until they are softened.
• Add the mushrooms and the remaining butter. Cook for a couple minutes until the mushrooms soften.
• Add around 1/2 tbsp of flour to help absorb any excess fat then add the wine and scrape any browning from the pan. Add the stock and tomato paste, if using, and bring to a gentle simmer. Simmer for around 5 minutes. Note you can make to this point ahead of time then reheat, when needed.
• Add the cream/sour cream over a low heat and mix through. Add the rest of the flour, if needed, to thicken the sauce further then set aside while you cook the pork.
• Pat dry the pork pieces and trim any fat and sinew from the edges. You want as little apart form the pork meat itself as sinew and membrane in particular can curl and/or become tough when cooked. Cover the pork with cling wrap/film and pound them each to tenderize and thin to around 1/4in (1/2cm) or thinner. Add some salt and pepper on both sides.
• Pour some flour on one plate, breadcrumbs on another and then whisk the egg in a bowl. Take each piece of pork and dip first in the flour, coat on both sides then shake off the excess. Then dip in the egg, let excess drip off, then coat with breadcrumbs on both sides. Just sit the pork on the breadcrumbs or sprinkle over, don't press them on. Repeat with all of the pork pieces.
• Warm the butter and oil in a large skillet/frying pan over a medium-high heat and then add the pork, in batches if needed. Cook for approx 3min each side until lightly browned on both sides and cooked through. Remove the pork from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
• Put the raspberries, cranberries, orange juice and sugar in a small pan over a medium-low heat. Warm until the cranberries pop and break up, around 10min. You can also make this sauce ahead of time and serve it cold.
• Serve the pork schnitzel topped with the mushroom sauce with your choice of side (potatoes, spaetzle) and lingonberries or the cranberry-raspberry sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Fry the chopped bacon over medium-high heat until browning and the fat has been rendered.
• Add 2 tablespoons of butter and melt with the bacon.
• Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms, saute for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the onion is translucent.
• Add the tomato paste, seasoning (salt, pepper, paprika), Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth.
• Whisk to combine and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
• The gravy should thicken while simmering. If it does not combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water to make a slurry. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the gravy to thicken if needed. If your gravy is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
• Using three shallow dishes, make a dredging station. Combine all-purpose flour with salt and pepper in the first, beat the large eggs in the second, and place plain breadcrumbs in the third.
• Move each piece of pork individually through the dredging station steps. Start with coating the pork in flour, shaking off excess flour before moving to the next step.
• Coat the flour-coated pork thoroughly with the beaten egg. Allow excess egg to drain off pork before moving to the next step.
• Bread the egg-coated pork with the plain breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumb into the pork gently, patting it onto the sides and all surfaces as needed.
• Pan-fry the breaded pork in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Use enough oil so that the heated oil comes up a bit over halfway on the sides of the pork cuts. Cook for approximately 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the fried schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate when done and repeat for each pork chop or pork steak. Schnitzels can be kept in a warmed oven while the remaining pork is fried.
• Heat the gravy if needed before serving, then serve each schnitzel with a generous amount of gravy for a wonderful jagerschnitzel dinner.

Steps:

• Pound pork loin to about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick - but not paper thin - between two sheets of plastic wrap. Season with salt and pepper. Beat eggs in a bowl. Dust pork with flour on both sides. Dip in beaten eggs. Coat with breadcrumbs, patting them to ensure they stick. Refrigerate.
• Make sauce: Heat butter and onions in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add tomatoes, herbs, red wine and beef broth. Simmer until sauce is reduced by half. Remove bay leaf. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large fry pan. Carefully add pork and fry on high heat, using a screen to prevent splattering. Turn and continue frying just until both sides are golden brown. Remove to paper towels. Drizzle with mushroom sauce and serve immediately.

JäEGER SCHNITZEL AND MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the white wine mushroom sauce and keep it warm while you prepare the pork.
• Set a wire cooling rack over a baking sheet and reserve
• Pound the pork slices between two sheets of plastic wrap to a 1/4-inch thickness. Season with salt/pepper.
• Combine the flour in one dish
• Break the eggs into another dish and lightly whip them with a fork.
• Add the Panko bread crumbs to another dish
• Dredge the pounded pork slices first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and then in the bread crumbs. Press down gently so the bread crumbs adhere.
• Place the pork cutlets on the wire rack and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Set a cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, cover the bottom of the skillet with 1/4-inch of oil. If using an electric skillet, set the temperature to 350°.
• When the oil is hot, add the pork cutlets and cook for 2 minutes on the first side, turn with tongs and cook on the reverse side for 1-1/2 minutes. Do not crowd the pan, cook in batches adding additional oil as needed.
• As each batch is cooked transfer to the wire rack to drain.

JäGERSCHNITZEL (PORK SCHNITZEL WITH RED WINE-MUSHROOM SAUCE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200° F so you can keep schnitzel warm while preparing the mushroom sauce.
• Set up your breading stations. Lay out two plates and one shallow bowl, with the bowl in the middle. Mix flour with salt and pepper on the first plate. Whisk egg with water in the bowl. Mix breadcrumbs with dried parsley, paprika, and garlic powder on the second plate.
• Place one of the pork chops in a Ziploc bag but don't seal the bag. Using a meat pounder or the bottom of a heavy pan, pound pork until it's 1/8" thick, which is thinner than you think! If using a pan, try to land the bottom of the pan square on the chop each time to help create a more uniform thickness and even surface. Repeat with remaining chops.
• One at a time, dredge pork chop in flour. Coat both sides and shake off excess. Then dip into the egg wash. Flip chop in egg mixture to coat both sides. Pull chop out and let excess drip off for a moment before laying chop onto the breadcrumb mixture. Push chop down completely into the breadcrumb mixture and then flip to push down on the other side, to ensure both sides are fully covered in breadcrumbs. Use your hands if necessary. If using tongs to move chops from one station to another, these will work as well.
• Let chops rest for at least 5 minutes on a wire rack to let the crumbs dry out a little bit. This helps the crust be crispier.
• Pour oil into fry pan so it's about 1/2-inch deep and warm over medium high heat. When oil shimmers, add one or two chops depending on the size of your pan. Let cook 1-2 minutes on each side. The chops are thin so they will cook quickly. You're looking for a nice golden brown color on them. When schnitzel is finished, move to the oven to keep warm and repeat with remaining pork chops.
• Cook bacon in skillet over medium heat until golden, but not black and too crispy, about 3 minutes.
• Add onions to the pan and cook 3 minutes in the bacon fat until onions become a bit translucent. Add mushrooms and continue cooking for another 4 minutes until mushrooms are properly sautéed.
• Add red wine and allow mixture to reduce by 2/3, just a minute or two. Add broth and simmer until mixture is reduced by a 1/3. While sauce is cooking down, make slurry to thicken the sauce. Whisk together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons stock off the heat until well combined and no lumps remain. Once stock has reduced, add slurry and stir constantly for a minute or two until sauce thickens and any taste from the cornstarch has cooked off. Cook too long and the slurry will lose some of its ability to thicken the sauce.
• Remove sauce from heat and season with salt. Add a squeeze of lemon to brighten the sauce.
• Remove schnitzel from the oven and serve with mushroom sauce
