The all important Schnitzel
Move this to where is best on the forum but thought after it's popularity and some will be still craving... I would share this.
In Germany, Schnitzel is usually made of pork, although turkey and veal are also common. These days it is usually served with French fries, potato mash, or wedge potatoes although traditionally it is Spaetzle (the highly popular and beloved egg noodles from the Swabia region of southwest Germany). The dish has been extremely popular since the end of the Second World War. In German-speaking countries, the term Schnitzel means cutlets in general, not just breaded, fried ones. Jägerschnitzel (hunter’s schnitzel) is a schnitzel with mushroom sauce. Münchner Schnitzel (Munich schnitzel) is a variation on the Wiener Schnitzel prepared with horseradish and/or mustard before coating in flour, egg and bread crumbs. Naturschnitzel (natural schnitzel) is a peppered and salted schnitzel with no sauce or only a simple sauce (e.g., pan drippings, to which sour cream may be added).(recipe below) Rahmschnitzel (cream schnitzel) is a schnitzel with a cream sauce, often containing some mushrooms.(recipe below) Vegetarisches Schnitzel (vegetarian schnitzel) is a meatless pattie made from soy, tofu, or seitan. Wiener Schnitzel (Viennese schnitzel) is a veal schnitzel thinned with a meat tenderizer, dusted with flour, battered with beaten eggs, and coated with bread crumbs and then fried. Zigeunerschnitzel (gypsy schnitzel) is a schnitzel with a sauce containing tomato, bell peppers, and onion slices. This schnitzel is also called Paprikaschnitzel (bell pepper schnitzel). http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psjgklhbpb.jpg http://www.daringgourmet.com/2014/03...ork-schnitzel/ Prep time -10 mins Cook time -6 mins whilst drinking German Beer and singing German songs :hurrah: Total time -16 mins Eating Time - INSTANT Serves: 4 or maybe 1 hungry man :doubleup: Ingredients
Instructions 1. Place the pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them until just ¼ inch thick with the flat side of a meat tenderizer. Lightly season both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psvm9ypedm.jpg 2. Place the flour mixture, egg, and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Dip the chops in the flour, the egg, and the breadcrumbs, coating both sides and all edges at each stage. Be careful not to press the breadcrumbs into the meat. Gently shake off the excess crumbs. Don't let the schnitzel sit in the coating or they will not be as crispy once fried fry immediately. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psapwwwnxe.jpg http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...pshkht4obp.jpg http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...pstyu1mtki.jpg http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psnjh1usol.jpg 3. Make sure the cooking oil is hot enough at this point (about 330 degrees F) as you don't want the Schnitzel to sit around in the coating before frying. Use enough oil so that the Schnitzels "swim" in it. 4. Fry the Schnitzel for about 2-3 minutes on both sides until a deep golden brown. Transfer briefly to a plate lined with paper towels. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...pscyx2hand.jpg 5. Serve immediately with slices of fresh lemon and parsley sprigs or with your choice of sauce. Serve with German Spaetzle, French fries, or German potato salad, and with a (fresh leafy green salad ( I know it looks pretty ok?)). __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______ http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psgxexc1jh.jpg Geschnetzletes or Rahmschnitzel (Creamy Hunter's Sauce) Prep time -5 mins Cook time -25 mins Total time -20 mins Geschnetzeltes or Rahmschnitzel is a popular German dish for the busy cook.
