Schnitzel Wiener Art (Breaded Pan-Fried Pork Cutlets) is German home cooking, eaten at lunch and dinner. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 4 pork cutlets, pounded thin
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to cook it
- Season the pork cutlets with the salt and pepper on both sides.
- Set up three shallow dishes: the flour in one, the beaten eggs in the second, and the breadcrumbs in the third.
- Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess, dip it in the egg, then coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the cutlets for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Drain briefly on paper towels and serve immediately with the lemon wedges.
