The Original Schnitzelwich Food

SCHNITZEL SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 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. Combine the breadcrumbs and seeds in a third dish; season with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat both sides.
• Arrange the cutlets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, 1 hour. (This will help the coating stick to the meat.)
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the cutlets until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side, sprinkling with the parsley during the last minute of cooking. Remove to a rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt.
• Sandwich the schnitzel on the pretzel rolls (you might need to cut the bigger pieces of meat). Top with pickles, red onion, lettuce and/or mustard.

THE ORIGINAL SCHNITZELWICH

Steps:

• Whisk 2 tablespoons oil, sour cream, and horseradish in small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until beginning to soften and brown, stirring often, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until onions are very soft and deep golden brown, stirring often, about 20 minutes. Transfer to bowl. DO AHEAD Horseradish sauce and caramelized onion can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and chill.
• Place rack on rimmed baking sheet. Place pork between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, spacing apart. Using flat side of meat tenderizer or mallet, pound to thickness of 1/4 inch. Place flour in 1 shallow bowl. Beat eggs in another shallow bowl. Place panko in third shallow bowl. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Working with 1 pork chop at a time, dredge both sides in flour, shaking off excess; dip in eggs to coat. Transfer to panko and press to coat pork all over. Place on prepared rack. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork to skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side, adding more oil by tablespoonfuls if needed. Transfer pork to paper towels.
• Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons ajvar onto each roll bottom; top each with 2 tablespoons caramelized onion. Place pork atop onion, then top with lettuce. Spoon 1 rounded tablespoon horseradish sauce onto cut side of each roll top. Place roll tops on sandwiches and serve.
