  • Coat each Pork Schnitzel first in flour, than in egg mix and at last in the bread crumbs.
  • Heat one or two table spoons of butter in a large pan over medium heat. You can ad a drop of oil to prevent the butter from burning.
  • Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot ad the breaded Schnitzel. Take care not to crowd the pan, rather fry the Schnitzel in portions than overcrowd the pan.
  • Fry quickly until the breading turns golden brown. If necessary, add some more butter, this will help to achieve the right color. Frying will only take a couple of minutes on each side since the meat is so thin.

PORK SCHNITZEL VIENNA STYLE (SCHWEINESCHNITZEL WIENER ART)



Pork Schnitzel Vienna Style (Schweineschnitzel Wiener Art) image

Wiener Schnitzel is made with veal. This dish is a German equivalent using pork instead of veal. It can be served with Spaetzle, Potatoes of any sort, or other noodles. It goes very well with Green Beans, also. I grew to love it while living in northern Bavaria. You can make many types of sauces for it, turning it into Jaegerschnitzel (brown mushroom sauce), Paprikaschnitzel (with finely sliced red peppers in a ligher sauce), or most anything else. You can also make a fruit garnish from juniper berries or currants and lemon/lime juice. Be creative!
