Pork loin is a tender and flavorful cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. When roasted, it's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Pork loin also pairs well with a variety of sauces, making it a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Lingonberry sauce is a sweet and tangy condiment that's perfect for pork loin. Made from lingonberries, a type of small red berry, lingonberry sauce has a slightly tart flavor that complements the richness of the pork.

PORK SCHNITZEL WITH LINGONBERRY SAUCE, GERMAN POTATO SALAD AND BRAISED CABBAGE
When we were young, my Aunt Catherine used to bring us to various Bavarian and German establishments in and around Chicago to introduce us Mauro children to the joys of schnitzel. Schnitzel: a name that sounds odd but tastes so darn familiar. Who doesn't love melt-in-your-mouth succulent pork surrounded by fried golden brown breading, especially when nestled next to warm potatoes, sweet jam and tart cabbage.

Steps:
- For the pork schnitzel with lingonberry sauce: Heat a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat with 2 cups of the vegetable oil to 375 degrees F.
- Beat the eggs with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a shallow bowl. Put the flour in a second shallow bowl and the breadcrumbs in a third. Season the pounded pork cutlets with kosher salt and black pepper. Dredge in the flour first, then shake off the excess. Then coat in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure it all sticks. Place onto a sheet pan lined with a wire rack and let it dry out for 5 minutes.
- Fry in batches, gently shaking to ensure no sticking and so the top of the cutlets get some love, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let drain on a sheet pan lined with a second wire rack.
- Meanwhile, add the lingonberries, sugar and 1/4 cup water to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce is thickened and reduced, about 5 minutes. Adjust the sweetness with more sugar if necessary.
- For the German potato salad: Add the potatoes to a pot and cover with 2 inches of water. Add the kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook until the potatoes are knife-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the bacon lardons and cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the grease in the skillet. Add the onion and some sea salt and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the vinegar and mustard until well combined.
- Drain the potatoes into a large bowl and immediately pour the warm mixture over the cooked potatoes; season with sea salt and pepper. Add the bacon and toss gently to combine. Top with the chives and serve warm!
- For the pickled red cabbage: In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, sugar, kosher salt, pink peppercorns, garlic and 1 cup water to a simmer; simmer until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the cabbage to the warm pickling liquid and let sit for at least 1 hour.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Generously season pork with salt and pepper; brown on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat. Transfer skillet to oven, and continue to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of pork registers 145 degrees, 25 to 35 minutes. Transfer pork to a plate; tent loosely with aluminum foil (reserve skillet).

Tips:
- Choose the right pork loin: Look for a loin that is evenly thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the pork cooks evenly and stays moist.
- Season the pork loin well: Pork loin is a mild-flavored meat, so it's important to season it well before cooking. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Sear the pork loin before roasting: Searing the pork loin in a hot skillet before roasting helps to develop a nice crust and lock in the juices.
- Roast the pork loin at a high temperature: Pork loin should be roasted at a high temperature (400°F) for a short period of time. This will help to keep the pork moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the pork loin is cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. Pork loin should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Let the pork loin rest before carving: Once the pork loin is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make it more tender.
Conclusion:
Pork loin with lingonberry sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its tender meat and tangy sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
