Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 boneless pork loin chops, 3/4 inch thick
2 cups bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
½ pound butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry white wine
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
olive oil as needed

Steps:

  • Pound the pork chops with a spiked meat mallet until 1/4 inch thick; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley flakes, salt, and pepper. Press the pork into the crumbs to bread thoroughly; set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the wine and sliced mushrooms. Allow to simmer and cook until the mushrooms have softened, about 10 minutes. Stir together the cornstarch and water, then add to the mushroom sauce. Simmer until the sauce has thickened, then remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the pork cutlets a few at a time until golden brown and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve with reserved mushroom sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 dried soft pretzels, cut into pieces
1/2 loaf challah, cut into pieces
1/2 loaf brioche, cut into pieces
6 veal cutlets, pounded thin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
8 large eggs
Canola oil, for searing
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup caper berries, chopped
1/2 cup white Spanish anchovies, chopped
1 bunch flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
2 limes, juiced
2 lemons, juiced
1 tablespoon smoked Hungarian sweet paprika

Steps:

  • Add the pretzels, challah and brioche to a food processor and pulse until very fine breadcrumbs form. Season the veal with salt and pepper. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Whisk together 2 of the eggs in a third bowl. Dip each cutlet in the flour, then the eggs and finally the breadcrumbs, making sure both sides are completely coated.
  • Heat the oil in a large cast-iron pan and sear the veal, one or two at a time, until they begin to brown around the edges, around 2 minutes. Flip and add a generous tablespoon of butter per veal cutlet. When the butter begins to brown, add some of the caper berries, anchovies and parsley. Cook the meat until it's almost completely done and crispy on the outside. Remove the pan from the flame and sprinkle with the lime and lemon juice. This will stop the cooking of the meat.
  • In a nonstick pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up and place one on top of each schnitzel. Sprinkle the paprika through a sieve on each before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality veal or pork cutlets for the best results.
  • Pound the cutlets thin to ensure even cooking.
  • Use a light touch when coating the cutlets in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs to avoid a heavy crust.
  • Fry the cutlets in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even browning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the cutlets are cooked through.
  • Serve the schnitzel immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Conclusion:

Butter schnitzel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With its crispy coating and tender meat, it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. Whether you choose to make it with veal or pork, or serve it with your favorite sides, butter schnitzel is sure to become a new favorite recipe.
