30/11 Wiener Schnitzel mit Kartoffeln und Salat

This isn't my schnitzel, but the freshness represented by the salad and lemons sort of shows what I was aiming for.

Lemon Anchovy Garnish

Supreme four sections of lemon and juice the rest into a shallow bowl.
Chop a dozen leaves of parsley, 1 heaping teaspoon of capers and two anchovy's and add to the small lemons. Salt and pepper to taste. I also add some caper juice. You may like a caper berry or two as well.

Set this mixture aside.

Put 1/2 inch of peanut oil into a nice frying pan and set aside.

Take your boneless pork loin chop and slice into 1/2 inch slice so you have two whole chops, 1/2 inch thick. Pound the slices between two layers of saran or just flat on a board, angling your strokes outward until you have two, nice thin schnitzels.

In a shallow bowl, whisk two eggs and set aside. In another bowl add 1/2 cup of flour with salt and pepper and set aside. In the third bowl, add 1 and 1/2 cups of panko bread crumbs and set aside.

Heat oil in pan

Take your schnitzel and dip it into the egg, then the flour and then egg again and then coat with panko crumbs. Lay schnitzel in hot oil and treat the other schnitzel and add to the pan.

Cook schnitzels to golden brown and set onto paper towels to drain and rest.

Plate your schnitzels and top with your garnish.

Serve with a nice chilled Sauvignon Blanc and a baby lettuce or arugula salad.

Enjoy!

We lived in Germany for four years when I was a kid (military brat) and I developed a love of schnitzel. I've not had much luck over the years finding anything close in taste in the States. (Maybe I live in the wrong part of the country for it!)

I don't know. I think it's more about finding a recipe that works. I like the freshness and crunch of this one because of the panko flakes and the lemon relish. I'm not sure I'd feel the same from a more traditional schnitzel. I do know that I lick the plate with this one. It's just delicious. Try it. It's a recipe from my culinary school book. Simple, quick and tasty. Or you could just come to my place and I'll make it for you!
