Low Cost German Pork Schnitzel Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the meat by trimming off the fat. Flatten or pound it, without tearing, to a uniform 1/4 inch thickness. Season with a mixture of salt, pepper and paprika.
• 2. For the next steps, you should handle the meat with a fork or you will have a mess on your fingers. Dredge the meat in flour until well coated. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl. Dip the chops into the eggs and cover them with breadcrumbs.
• 3. Leave the breaded meat rest on a cookie sheet or on a wire rack for a while (15 minutes) to give the breading a chance to adhere better.
• 4. Preheat your oven to 225 degrees.
• 5. Heat the fat in a large skillet. Cook the Schnitzel on both sides until they are nicely browned. When all of them are finished put them into the pre-heated oven for about 1/2 hour. NOTE: This last important step allows the seasonings to be absorbed by the meat.

Steps:

• with a meat mallet pound each pork chop until they are roughly twice the original size an very very thin. Pound firm but don't smash the meat.

• Coat each Pork Schnitzel first in flour, than in egg mix and at last in the bread crumbs.

• 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.

• Garnish each Schnitzel with a lemon slice (the lemon juice ads a great flavor to the Schnitzel).
