Best Pork Holstein Schnitzel With Austrian Potato Salad And Pickled Cucumbers Recipes

VEAL CHOP HOLSTEIN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Place the butterflied veal chops in between layers of plastic wrap and gently pound with the flat side of a meat mallet. Sprinkle the chops generously with salt.
• Set up a standard breading procedure: In 3 large dishes, set up one with the flour, one with 2 eggs beaten with 2 tablespoons water and one with the breadcrumbs.
• Dust each chop in the flour and shake off the excess. Dip each chop in the egg mixture and then run through the breadcrumbs. Place the breaded veal on a sheet tray and let them hang out in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the breading to set.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Add enough oil to coat a large saute pan until it is a depth of 1/4-inch. Add 2 tablespoons butter and bring the pan to a medium heat. Working in batches, fry the veal chops until they are golden brown on both sides, about 6 minutes total. Drain each chop on paper towels and salt each one as they come out of the oil. After the second chop, change out the oil and butter and fry the 2 remaining chops. Reserve the cooked chops in the warm oven.
• Coat a nonstick saute pan lightly with oil and fry the remaining 4 eggs sunny side up. The whites should be cooked and the yolks should be warm and runny, cook for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Top each chop with a sunny side up egg and pour over some of the Anchovy Caper Sauce. Serve immediately.
• Wine Pairing Suggestion: Gruner Veltliner
• In a small saute pan, add the olive oil, anchovy filets and garlic. Set the pan over medium heat and allow the garlic to brown lightly and the anchovy fillets to melt. Once the garlic is golden, it has fulfilled its garlic destiny; remove it and discard. Add in the chopped capers. Melt in the butter and finish the sauce with the parsley as you are ready to plate.

PORK SCHNITZEL WITH LINGONBERRY SAUCE, GERMAN POTATO SALAD AND BRAISED CABBAGE

Steps:

• For the pork schnitzel with lingonberry sauce: Heat a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat with 2 cups of the vegetable oil to 375 degrees F.
• Beat the eggs with the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a shallow bowl. Put the flour in a second shallow bowl and the breadcrumbs in a third. Season the pounded pork cutlets with kosher salt and black pepper. Dredge in the flour first, then shake off the excess. Then coat in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure it all sticks. Place onto a sheet pan lined with a wire rack and let it dry out for 5 minutes.
• Fry in batches, gently shaking to ensure no sticking and so the top of the cutlets get some love, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Let drain on a sheet pan lined with a second wire rack.
• Meanwhile, add the lingonberries, sugar and 1/4 cup water to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce is thickened and reduced, about 5 minutes. Adjust the sweetness with more sugar if necessary.
• For the German potato salad: Add the potatoes to a pot and cover with 2 inches of water. Add the kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook until the potatoes are knife-tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the bacon lardons and cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the grease in the skillet. Add the onion and some sea salt and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the vinegar and mustard until well combined.
• Drain the potatoes into a large bowl and immediately pour the warm mixture over the cooked potatoes; season with sea salt and pepper. Add the bacon and toss gently to combine. Top with the chives and serve warm!
• For the pickled red cabbage: In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, sugar, kosher salt, pink peppercorns, garlic and 1 cup water to a simmer; simmer until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the cabbage to the warm pickling liquid and let sit for at least 1 hour.
