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.

PORK SCHNITZEL MEDALLIONS WITH APPLE ENDIVE SALAD



Pork Schnitzel Medallions with Apple Endive Salad image

Can you hear the sizzle? I love any kind of schnitzel, and especially these thin pork medallions that are breaded and fried to a perfect crisp. The tart salad of apple and endive provides a nice fresh counterpoint to the pork, and it's a dinner you can get on the table in just about 30 minutes!

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 garlic clove, grated on a rasp grater
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 heads of endive, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced on the bias
1 large tart apple, such as a Granny Smith, cored, halved, and thinly sliced
1/2 cup torn flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/2 cup toasted salted pecans, roughly chopped
One (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut crosswise into 12 medallions
1 garlic clove, minced, then mashed to a paste with flat side of a chef's knife
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 cups whole wheat or regular panko
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 lemon, cut into wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the apple endive salad: Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the garlic, scallion, mustard, honey, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. While whisking, add 1/2 cup oil in a slow, steady stream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (see Cook's Note).
  • When ready to serve, place the endive, apple, parsley, and pecans in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to coat completely. Serve immediately.
  • For the pork schnitzel medallions: Line a cutting board with plastic wrap. Working in batches, arrange half of the pork medallions in a single layer on top of the plastic wrap. Place another piece of plastic wrap on top of the pork medallions. Pound the pork medallions with a meat mallet until 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch thick. Repeat the process with the remaining pork medallions. Place the flattened pork medallions on a sheet pan. Rub the garlic all over the pork medallions, then sprinkle lightly on both sides with salt and pepper. Let sit for 15 minutes.
  • Set up three shallow dishes. Combine the flour, paprika, and cayenne pepper into one dish. Whisk together the eggs and mustard in the second dish, and place 1 cup of the panko into the third dish, reserving the remaining panko to replenish as needed.
  • Dredge one pork medallion in the flour mixture, shake off the excess, then coat evenly in the egg mixture, then press into the panko so that the breadcrumbs adhere evenly all over. Place on a sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining 11 pork medallions.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place some of the pork medallions into the pan in a single layer, being careful not to crowd them, and cook on each side until golden-brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to drain on a sheet pan or plate lined with paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat the process with the pork medallions, adding the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil as needed.
  • Sprinkle the schnitzel with the chopped parsley and serve immediately with the Apple Endive Salad, garnished with the lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • To ensure the schnitzel stays crispy, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the schnitzel to the pan.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the schnitzel. This will cause the oil temperature to drop, resulting in soggy schnitzel.
  • Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the pork chops thin. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Season the schnitzel with salt and pepper before coating in the breadcrumb mixture. This will help to enhance the flavor of the schnitzel.
  • Serve the schnitzel immediately after cooking, while it is still hot and crispy.
