Pork Schnitzel Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Begin by placing each chop between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and gently pounding them out with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until they are an even 1/4-inch thick.
• Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs and milk in another shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Put the bread crumbs in a third dish and again season with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each piece of pork in flour, then in the egg and finally into the bread crumbs, pressing the bread crumbs onto the pork gently so they have a nice even coating.
• Lay the breaded pork cutlets in a single layer on a plate lined with parchment and refrigerate, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes to allow the coating to dry out a little and adhere to the pork.
• Heat oil and butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thyme sprig and let it fry for about 1 minute to infuse the oil. Remove the thyme sprig and reserve. Gently lay the cutlets into the pan and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with salt and transfer to a serving platter while still hot. Garnish with lemon wedges and the fried thyme sprig before serving.

Steps:

• Place the pork chops between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/8-inch. Trim any fat from the edges, and make a few small slits along the edge to prevent the pork from curling during cooking.
• Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk the egg and milk together in another bowl until well blended, then mix the panko bread crumbs and paprika together in a third bowl. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture one at a time, then dip them into the egg mixture followed by the panko mixture.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange no more than two pork chops in the skillet at a time, cooking until the meat is golden brown no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Place the pork chops in a warm oven to keep warm.
• Pour the chicken stock into the skillet used to cook the pork. Reduce the heat to low, and scrape up any brown bits in the bottom of the pan. As the stock simmers, mix the dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and sour cream together in a bowl. Whisk about 1/4 cup of the hot stock into the sour cream mixture, then pour it back into the skillet. Heat until warm and thick, about 5 minutes. Serve with the pork chops.

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs and milk in another shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Combine the breadcrumbs and seeds in a third dish; season with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat both sides.
• Arrange the cutlets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, 1 hour. (This will help the coating stick to the meat.)
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the cutlets until golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side, sprinkling with the parsley during the last minute of cooking. Remove to a rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt.
• Sandwich the schnitzel on the pretzel rolls (you might need to cut the bigger pieces of meat). Top with pickles, red onion, lettuce and/or mustard.

Steps:

• For the bacon slaw: Put the bacon in a small skillet and cook over medium-low heat until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Once the bacon has cooked, carefully pour off and discard all but about 1 tablespoon of the fat, then add the caraway seeds and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Let cool, then transfer the bacon, caraway seeds and bacon fat to a bowl and add the cabbage and sauerkraut. Toss and season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, for the schnitzel: Place a pork chop between two pieces of plastic (preferably from a resealable plastic bag). Use a meat mallet to pound the pork to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch. Repeat with the other pork chop.
• Put the flour in a wide, shallow bowl and whisk in the marjoram, paprika, nutmeg, caraway, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water in another shallow bowl. Put the panko in third shallow bowl.
• Dredge one piece of pork in the seasoned flour, then shake off the excess. Dip it in the egg to coat and let the excess drip back into the bowl. Place it in the panko and turn it to coat, lightly pressing so that the crumbs adhere. Place it on a plate and repeat with the other piece of pork.
• Add about 1/8 inch of oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until the chops are golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the schnitzel to a wire cooling rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain briefly. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
• Serve the schnitzel with the bacon slaw on the side.
