Categories     Easy

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs boneless pork chops (trimmed and sliced into 1/2" thick cutlets)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp garlic salt (or sub with equal parts salt and garlic powder)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
3 large eggs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Olive oil (canola oil or any high heat cooking oil to sauté)
Lemon wedges to serve (don't skip the lemons!)

Steps:

  • Line a cutting board with plastic wrap, place cutlets in a single layer on cutting board and cover with plastic wrap (this prevents splatter). Pound cutlets with a meat mallet or the back of a heavy saucepan, until 1/4" to 1/8" thick.
  • Set up three bowls. In the first combine 1/3 cup flour, 1 Tbsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp paprika and 1/2 tsp pepper. In the second, use a fork to beat 3 eggs. In the third bowl, add 2 cups panko crumbs.
  • Dredge both sides of each pounded cutlet in flour then dip in beaten egg letting excess egg drip back into the bowl before breading in panko crumbs. It helps to use a fork for the dipping process to keep your hands clean. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
  • Once all cutlets are breaded, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add breaded cutlets a few at a time and sauté 3-4 min per side or until cooked through. Reduce heat if browning too quickly. Remove to paper towel lined plate. Cut into one to check doneness - juices should run clear. Serve with lemon wedges, or ranch for children.

Provided by EPRUETZ

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Pan Fried

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 (4 ounce) boneless pork chops
¼ cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon ground paprika
¼ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup chicken stock
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup sour cream

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.

PORK SCHNITZEL SANDWICH



Pork Schnitzel Sandwich image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 16m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons whole milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 boneless pork chops, pounded flat
1 lemon, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, sliced
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
One 10-ounce bag shredded red cabbage
1/4 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup grainy mustard
4 potato rolls, split
8 butter lettuce leaves
1 Gala or Fuji apple, very thinly sliced
1 large bag salt and vinegar potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • For the schnitzel: Add the flour to a shallow dish and season with the seasoning salt and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate shallow dish. Add the breadcrumbs and parsley to a third shallow dish.
  • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Bread the pork by coating the chops lightly in the seasoned flour, then dipping them in the egg mixture. Next, coat the chops in the breadcrumbs. You can use your fingertips to really press the breadcrumbs onto the pork, which will help the breading stay on while frying.
  • Carefully lay the pork chops in the skillet, cooking until golden and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain slightly and squeeze over the lemon.
  • For the cabbage. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and fennel and mustard seeds and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful as the seeds might pop slightly during cooking. Add the cabbage, apple cider, vinegar and honey and cook until the cabbage is softened and the liquid is reduced slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • For the sandwiches: Spread a heaping teaspoon each of mayo and mustard on both halves of each roll. Top the bottom half of each roll with 2 lettuce leaves, then top with a piece of schnitzel and some warm cabbage. Shingle over some slices of apple, then top with the other half of the roll. Serve with salt and vinegar potato chips.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pork chops: Look for pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that they are juicy and flavorful.
  • Brine the pork chops: Brining the pork chops in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar will help to tenderize them and prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a light breading: A heavy breading will make the schnitzel greasy and soggy. Instead, use a light breading made with flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
  • Fry the schnitzel in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the schnitzel is added. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Serve the schnitzel with a variety of sides: Schnitzel can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Pork schnitzel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make sure that your pork schnitzel is juicy, flavorful, and crispy. So next time you're looking for a new dinner idea, give pork schnitzel a try!
