Osmans Weiner Schnitzel Recipes

AUTHENTIC GERMAN SCHNITZEL (SCHWEINESCHNITZEL)

Steps:

• Place the pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them until just 1/4 inch thick with the flat side of a meat tenderizer. Lightly season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place the flour mixture, egg, and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Dip the chops in the flour, the egg, and the breadcrumbs, coating both sides and all edges at each stage. Be careful not to press the breadcrumbs into the meat. Gently shake off the excess crumbs. Don't let the schnitzel sit in the coating or they will not be as crispy once fried - fry immediately.
• Make sure the cooking oil is hot enough at this point (about 330 degrees F) as you don't want the Schnitzel to sit around in the coating before frying. Use enough oil so that the Schnitzels "swim" in it.
• Fry the Schnitzel for about 2-3 minutes on both sides until a deep golden brown. Transfer briefly to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Serve immediately with slices of fresh lemon and parsley sprigs or with your choice of sauce. Serve with German Spaetzle (see recipe for Homemade German Spaetzle), French fries, or German potato salad, and with a fresh leafy green salad.
• Be sure to also try the popular Jägerschnitzel version!

Steps:

• Pat the pork cutlets dry with paper towels.
• Season them with salt and pepper.
• Set up a standard breading procedure in 3 shallow bowls or pie plates. Put flour in 1, eggs and milk in another, and bread crumbs in the last.
• Beat the eggs and milk together.
• Dredge each of the pork cutlets first in flour, then egg wash and then the bread crumbs.
• Transfer the coated cutlets to a platter.
• Heat a large straight sided skillet, add vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
• Carefully, transfer the coated cutlets into the hot oil to fry.
• Since they are so thin, the pork will cook very quickly, about 2 minutes per side.
• Drain the cutlets on a paper towel lined plate.
• Serve with lemon wedges.
