Whenever I serve this pork schnitzel, people always ask for the recipe. German-style schnitzel is usually made with veal. I substituted pork to save money without sacrificing flavor. -Diane Katzmark, Metamora, Michigan

DINNER ESSENTIALS: PORK SCHNITZEL WITH A TWIST



Dinner Essentials: Pork Schnitzel with a Twist image

This is a variation of a basic pork Schnitzel. It's simple to make but does require you to marinate the pork in pickle juice overnight. So, a bit of planning is in order. Although the pickle juice is optional, I love what it does to kick up the flavor of the pork. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Time 8h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

PLAN/PURCHASE
1 c dill pickle juice
2 medium boneless pork chops
1/2 c flour, all-purpose variety
1 large egg
4 Tbsp whole milk, or water
1/2 c plain breadcrumbs, not panko
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
grapeseed or peanut oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Chef's Note: Schnitzel is a traditional German dish, typically made with boneless pork chops. This is not Wienerschnitzel... Authentic Wienerschnitzel is made with veal, not pork.
  • 3. Gather Your Ingredients.
  • 4. Take the pork chops, place them in the pickle juice, and allow them to marinate for 6 - 8 hours, but no more than 24 hours.
  • 5. Chef's Note: This step is optional; however, it adds another level of flavor to this traditional dish.
  • 6. Chef's Note: If you don't have any spare dill pickle juice lying about, you can use the brine from this recipe. It's what I use. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/side-vegetable/easy-peasy-dill-pickles.html?p=1
  • 7. Remove the pork chops from the brine and pat dry.
  • 8. Place between two pieces of wax paper, and pound them into an even thickness of about 1/8 inch (.3cm).
  • 9. Chef's Note: The pounding part is fun... it allows you to release all those frustrations you've been holding in. So pound away.
  • 10. Add the flour to a dish.
  • 11. Beat the egg with the milk, and add to a second dish.
  • 12. Add some salt and pepper to the breadcrumbs, and add to a third dish.
  • 13. Add about 1/4 inch (.6 cm) of oil to a sauté pan, and over medium heat.
  • 14. Chef's Tip: The ideal temperature for cooking is between 225 - 235f (107 - 112c)... higher than this and the breading will burn before the pork cooks; lower than this and the breading won't crisp up.
  • 15. Coat the pork with the flour, and shake off any excess.
  • 16. Coat the pork with the egg/milk mixture, and shake off any excess.
  • 17. Coat with the breadcrumbs, and shake off any excess.
  • 18. Place into the hot oil.
  • 19. Chef's Note: Do not let the pork rest after coating. If you do, the crust will be soggy.
  • 20. Cook for about 2 - 3 minutes per side, until nice and golden brown.
  • 21. Drain on a paper towel, for 1 - 2 minutes before serving.
  • 22. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 23. Place on a plate with your favorite sides, add a few slices of lemon, and go for it. Enjoy.
  • 24. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
