Schnitzel


So, being a true german I guess its about time to post a Schitzel recipe.
Well here it goes.

- Pork Steaks (or chops, or sliced loin or sliced roast)
- Plain Panco Bread Crumbs
- Egg to dip meat before breading
- vegetable oil
- salt, pepper

Flatten meat to about 1/2 inch thickness, season with some salt and pepper

Dip flattened meat in egg, then generously in panco breadcrumbs

Use a large frying pan and put enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan easily. Heat the oil (you know its hot if you stick a finger in .... or just put the stick of a wooden spoon into the oil and small bubbles build around the wood).

Carefully add Schnitzel and turn heat down to medium-high.
There has to be enough heat still to make sure the oil is constantly sizzling.

Fry for about 7-10 minutes then turn and fry the other side for 7 minutes as well until both sides are nicely browned.

Serve over a bed of salad, or with fries or whatever side you like. You can also make a sauce for it, a brown gravy with mushrooms and roasted peppers, which would make it a "Jaegerschnitzel"

Enjoy!

*** A true Wiener Schnitzel is made with veal instead of pork. It will be much more tender
The recipe is the same, cookingtime might vary***
