SCHNITZEL, WIENER-STYLE

Steps:

• Fill a high-sided saute pan with the butter and oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Pound out the pork cutlets between 2 pieces of plastic wrap until they are 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set up a dredging station with the flour, eggs and panko in 3 separate bowls. Dredge the cutlets first in the flour, shaking off any excess, followed by the egg and panko.
• Carefully slip the cutlets into the oil and shallow fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with Braised Red Cabbage. Garnish with lemon wedges.
• Combine the cabbage, vinegar, spices, onions and bay leaves in a glass bowl. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and weigh down with heavy cans. Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator, keeping any liquid that's released.
• In a Dutch oven, saute the bacon until it begins to crisp and the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add the red cabbage mixture plus 1 cup water and cook over medium heat until the cabbage is soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring regularly.
• Whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until it looks like heavy cream. Add to the cabbage mixture and boil until thickened, about 2 minutes. Return the bacon to the pan, season with salt and pepper and serve.

WIENER SCHNITZEL WITH PORK

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200 degrees while you prepare the three components of the breading. Sift flour into a shallow dish and whisk to combine with 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. In another shallow dish, lightly beat eggs. In a third shallow dish, whisk to combine breadcrumbs and remaining teaspoon of salt. Dredge one cutlet at a time in the seasoned flour, turning to coat, and shaking off excess. Next dip in the eggs, again making sure to coat completely and to allow the excess to drip back into bowl. Then coat with breadcrumbs, patting firmly so they adhere but being careful not to coat too thickly. Place coated cutlets on piece of parchment paper or a large baking sheet.
• Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it is 350 degrees. Working in batches to avoid crowding pan, cook cutlets until golden brown on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip with a flexible thin spatula and fry until the other side is golden brown and cutlets are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more, monitoring temperature of oil to maintain 350 degrees. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a double layer of paper towels and keep warm in the oven.
• Pour off and discard oil remaining in skillet, then wipe clean with paper towels. Working in batches again if necessary, melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat until sizzling. Set pan-fried cutlets in the pan to coat one side with butter, then quickly flip to coat the other side.
• Arrange the cutlets on a platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Cut the pork loin into 6 even slices, then tenderize them by covering each in plastic and beating until about 1/4-inch thick.
• Layer the sliced pork loin with the onions in a deep container and pour milk over the top to cover. Cover the container and refrigerate for a minimum of 12 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat a frying pan, some lard and the garlic. Beat the eggs for the breading. Take out the pork chops from the marinade. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper, then add some marjoram, and dip in the eggs, then the breadcrumbs. Fry the pork chops in batches on medium heat for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on each side. Serve with sauerkraut and brown mustard.

AUTHENTIC WIENER SCHNITZEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Place your veal cutlets on a large chopping board, place a thick plastic bag on top and pound into very thin cutlets. Start pounding from the center towards the edges of the cutlet. It should be really thin, about 2/16-3/16 of an inch (3-4mm).
• Prepare your dredging station: add flour to a large plate, beat an egg in a large rimmed plate (don't beat it very thoroughly), then add the breadcrumbs to a third large plate.
• Season your cutlets on both sides with salt, then dredge in flour, shake off excess flour, dip in egg (allow excess to drip off), then coat in breadcrumbs. Repeat this for all cutlets. Place on a large plate/tray.
• Heat the clarified butter in a large frying pan. You should have at least 1 inch (3 cm) of oil in your pan. The cutlet should be able to 'swim' freely in the fat. The clarified butter should be hot enough - you can check the temperature of the oil with a thermomether, it should be about 350°F (180°C) or you can just throw a couple of breadcrumbs into the oil - if they're foaming vigorously, it means the butter is hot enough.
• Place the Schnitzel in the pan, laying it away from your body. Cook the cutlet on both sides until golden brown in color (about 1-2 minutes per side, it should not take more than 5 minutes). Shake gently with the pan and move with the cutlet using kitchen tongs while you're frying it - it will give it its hallmark waved surface.
• Transfer the cutlets to a plate lined with kitchen towels to drain excess fat. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
• Serve with lemon wedges/slices and lingonberry jam. Drizzle some lemon juice over the Schnitzel.
• Enjoy!

WIENER SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• One at a time, place veal pieces in heavy 1-quart plastic bag, and pound thin with meat pounder. Place veal on large platter, and lightly salt and pepper both sides.
• Put flour in shallow bowl wide enough to hold a piece of veal flat. Put eggs and cream in a similar bowl. Beat to blend. Put bread crumbs in a third similar bowl.
• Heat oven to 175 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment. Arrange bowls near stove, along with a platter covered with layers of paper towel and a small plate covered with layers of paper towel.
• Heat oil in an 11- to 12-inch skillet or sauteacute; pan, the deeper the better. When oil is quite hot, put parsley in strainer, put in oil, and fry 10 seconds. Remove parsley, draining well, and place on the small plate. Add butter to skillet, and adjust heat to medium.
• Put 1 slice veal in flour, cover well, then shake off excess. Dip in egg, turning to coat. Put in bread crumbs, coating well, then shake off excess. Put in skillet, and fry about one minute, gently moving pan in circular motion on the burner. Oil should be frothy. When breading looks bubbly and starts to brown, turn and cook another minute, then transfer to paper-towel-lined platter. Repeat with remaining veal, adjusting heat so crumb coating cooks gradually and evenly, without burning.
• Place the cooked, drained schnitzels on a baking sheet, and put in the oven until ready to serve, up to 15 minutes.
• Arrange veal on platter or individual plates. Garnish with lemon wedges and fried parsley, and serve with salad.
