How to make schnitzel

  1. Pork – Slice pork tenderloin/pork fillet into 5cm medallions. Place the pork in between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and thin out with a meat mallet or rolling pin. You want the meat to be as thin as possible so it cooks quickly.
  2. Breading – Beat eggs and place into a shallow bowl. In another bowl, season flour with salt and pepper and finally in a third bowl place breadcrumbs and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne. Dip the pork first in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. You can repeat the egg and breadcrumbs step if you want an even crispier end result.
  3. Frying – Fry the pork in 1-2cm of vegetable oil until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the pan and allow to drain on kitchen paper before serving.
  4. Baking: Alternatively, place the breaded schnitzels on a sheet pan then drizzle with a tablespoon of oil. Place in a 220ºC/430ºF preheated oven and allow to bake for 10 minutes on one side, carefully flip over and bake for another 10 minutes on the other side until both sides are golden brown and crisp.
