Looking for a recipe for Schnitzel, we came across an easy version of this dish. The ones we found on Pinterest were too complicated, and had too many ingredients. We found this recipe and it was easy and did not require a lot of ingredients (which meant no trip to the store for me!).The recipe asks for:
Veal cutlets ( we got thin cuts so we didn't have to pound it)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
Lemons
Salt and Pepper
SEE??? EASY!
Procedure:
1. Crack eggs and beat whiskly. Season the veal with salt and pepper.
2. In another plate/ container, put together the flour and salt.
3. Put bread crumbs in another container.
4. Dip veal in the flour mixture, covering it well. The dip in the egg mixture, letting the excess drip for a few seconds, and finally, place the veal in the breadcrumbs and cover it well.
5. Let the breaded veal sit for 5 mins on a plate
6. Pour oil in a pan in medium heat, and keep on medium heat. Keep in mind that the oil should cover at least 1/4 inch of the pan. This will help in keeping the schnitzel crunchy as it will not absorb a lot of oil, as compared to when you put it on high heat.
7. Place the veal in the pan, letting it cook thoroughly. Flip it when the cooking side is golden brown. Let the other side cook.
8. When the veal is done cooking, let it rest on paper towels on plate so it absorbs the excess oil.
9. Squeeze lemons on top and enjoy!
The Verdict:
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Need I say more?
You can also try it with Lean Pork Cutlets (Not thicker than 1/4 inch). It tastes like a Veal Schnitzel, while saving around $5. YES, that much savings for replacing Pork with the original veal.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say that I love it so much I've been eating it the whole week. YES, whole week.
I also used Peanut oil, and the schnitzel does not absorb as much oil. Plus, squeezing lemons right before eating it makes it so much better.
