Easy Pork Schnitzel Food

PORK SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Begin by placing each chop between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and gently pounding them out with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until they are an even 1/4-inch thick.
• Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs and milk in another shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Put the bread crumbs in a third dish and again season with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece of pork in flour, then in the egg and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing the bread crumbs onto the pork gently so they have a nice even coating.
• Lay the breaded pork cutlets in a single layer on a plate lined with parchment and refrigerate, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes to allow the coating to dry out a little and adhere to the pork.
• Heat oil and butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thyme sprig and let it fry for about 1 minute to infuse the oil. Remove the thyme sprig and reserve. Gently lay the cutlets into the pan and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with salt and transfer to a serving platter while still hot. Garnish with lemon wedges and the fried thyme sprig before serving.

EASY PORK SCHNITZEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare 3 shallow bowls (or a bowl for the egg and one plate each for the flour and panko).
• Place the pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them until they're 1/4" thick (or even thinner) using the flat side of a meat mallet. Season them generously with salt & pepper.
• Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to a large skillet. The pan should be well coated, so add more oil if needed. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes over medium-high heat. You will be doing two batches, so for the second batch add at least one more tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and the remaining tablespoon of butter.
• Coat the pork chops in flour, followed by the egg (let excess drip off), and finally the panko breadcrumbs (you may need to gently pat it down to make them stick).
• Fry two schnitzels at a time for about 3 minutes/side. Easily flip them using cooking tongs. If the pan starts to smoke, turn the heat down a bit. Repeat with the next batch (add remaining oil and butter).
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

PORK SCHNITZEL WITH QUICK PICKLES

Steps:

• Prepare the pickles: Grate the zest from one of the limes and juice them both. Add zest and juice to a shallow bowl along with the remaining pickle ingredients and toss well. Let sit for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Chill if letting them sit for longer than 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare the pork: Mix flour with cayenne and nutmeg. Place flour mixture in one shallow dish, place eggs in a second dish, and place bread crumbs in a third dish. Season pork cutlets generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1/8 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While oil heats, dip cutlets one by one into flour (shake off any excess), then into eggs (ditto) and finally into the bread crumbs, taking care not to handle pork more than necessary (hold meat by ends).
• When oil sizzles when a pinch of bread crumbs is thrown in, add as many cutlets as comfortably fit in one layer, leaving plenty of room around them. Swirl and tilt pan so oil cascades over top of cutlet in waves. When bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, flip and brown the other side, swirling pan (swirling helps create air pockets, giving you lighter schnitzel). Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking platter or baking tray and sprinkle with more salt. Repeat with remaining pork.
• Serve pork sprinkled with scallion and drizzled with a little of the pickle juice, accompanied by the pickles and the lingonberry jam, if you like.

SHEET-PAN CRISPY PORK SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet.
• Separately place flour and eggs in two shallow bowls. Beat the eggs, then stir in the garlic. In a third shallow bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons of the oil with mayonnaise until well blended, then add breadcrumbs and mix with your fingers until there are no clumps, and oil is evenly distributed.
• Season pork with salt and pepper. Working with one piece at a time, dredge in flour (shake off excess), dip in egg (shake off excess) and dredge in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden and crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the remaining 6 tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice from 1 lemon, capers, caper brine and parsley, and whisk until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Add hearts of palm, celery and tomatoes and toss to evenly coat.
• Divide schnitzel and salad on 4 serving plates, cut the other lemon into wedges and serve alongside.

PERFECT PORK SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Place flour in shallow bowl; bread crumbs in second bowl. Beat eggs gently in third bowl until blended.
• Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2-3 minutes. Season both sides of pork with salt and pepper. Dip pork in flour (coating both sides) then dip into egg mixture (allowing excess to drip off). Finally dip into bread crumbs.
• Place 2 tablespoons of the oil in pan; swirl to coat. Place 2 pork steaks in pan; cook 4-5 minutes on each side or until internal temperature is 160°F (for medium). Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness.
• Remove pork steaks from pan; cover to keep warm. Repeat steps with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and 2 pork steaks. Serve.

PORK SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• For the bacon slaw: Put the bacon in a small skillet and cook over medium-low heat until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Once the bacon has cooked, carefully pour off and discard all but about 1 tablespoon of the fat, then add the caraway seeds and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Let cool, then transfer the bacon, caraway seeds and bacon fat to a bowl and add the cabbage and sauerkraut. Toss and season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, for the schnitzel: Place a pork chop between two pieces of plastic (preferably from a resealable plastic bag). Use a meat mallet to pound the pork to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. Repeat with the other pork chop.
• Put the flour in a wide, shallow bowl and whisk in the marjoram, paprika, nutmeg, caraway, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water in another shallow bowl. Put the panko in third shallow bowl.
• Dredge one piece of pork in the seasoned flour, then shake off the excess. Dip it in the egg to coat and let the excess drip back into the bowl. Place it in the panko and turn it to coat, lightly pressing so that the crumbs adhere. Place it on a plate and repeat with the other piece of pork.
• Add about 1/8 inch of oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until the chops are golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the schnitzel to a wire cooling rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain briefly. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
• Serve the schnitzel with the bacon slaw on the side.

PORK SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Tip the sage leaves and breadcrumbs onto a plate, then mix together with a little seasoning. Pour the eggs onto another plate. Pat the pork dry, then coat each chop in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip away. Then dip in the breadcrumbs until well covered. Cook or wrap in cling film or freezer bags and freeze.
• To cook, defrost completely if frozen. Place the chops on a lightly greased baking sheet and brush with a little of the butter. Cook under a medium grill for 7-10 mins until browned. Then turn over, brush with more butter and cook for a further 7 mins until crisp, browned all over and cooked through. Serve with green beans, fresh peas and some mashed potato mixed with grated cheddar.

PORK SCHNITZEL WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the pork chops between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/8-inch. Trim any fat from the edges, and make a few small slits along the edge to prevent the pork from curling during cooking.
• Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk the egg and milk together in another bowl until well blended, then mix the panko bread crumbs and paprika together in a third bowl. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture one at a time, then dip them into the egg mixture followed by the panko mixture.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange no more than two pork chops in the skillet at a time, cooking until the meat is golden brown no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Place the pork chops in a warm oven to keep warm.
• Pour the chicken stock into the skillet used to cook the pork. Reduce the heat to low, and scrape up any brown bits in the bottom of the pan. As the stock simmers, mix the dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and sour cream together in a bowl. Whisk about 1/4 cup of the hot stock into the sour cream mixture, then pour it back into the skillet. Heat until warm and thick, about 5 minutes. Serve with the pork chops.
