Pork This Time

I’ve made my share of schnitzel, but almost always of the veal kind. It was time to make some from pork.

Jagerschnitzel

Crispy deep-fried breading. Hearty and earthly mushroom sauce. What more could you want in life?

I started with thinly cut chops.

And then pounded them even thinner.

In the oil.

Starting the sauce.

Coming together.

Fabulous!

Jagerschnitzel

Prep Time: 15 Min | Cook Time: 25 Min | Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 pork steaks or cutlets, pounded thin
1 egg, beaten
1 medium onion, diced
1 (8 ounce) can sliced mushrooms
1 1/2 cups water
1 cube beef bouillon
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup sour cream

Directions:

In a shallow dish, mix together the bread crumbs and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Place the egg in a separate dish. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip pork steaks in egg, then coat with the bread crumb mixture. Fry in the hot oil until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

Remove the pork to a platter and keep warm. Add onion and mushrooms to the skillet and cook until lightly browned. Pour in water and dissolve the bouillon cube. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir together the cornstarch and sour cream; stir into the skillet. Cook over low heat until thickened but do not boil. Spoon over the pork cutlets and serve immediately.
