Pork Schnitzel with Mushroom Gravy (Jägerschnitzel)

pork

all-purpose flour

salt

garlic powder

smoked paprika

black pepper

eggs, (beaten)

breadcrumbs

vegetable oil (for frying)

bacon, (chopped)

onion, (chopped)

mushrooms

Tablespoons all-purpose flour

beef broth

balsamic vinegar, (optional)

heavy cream, (half-and-half

Chopped fresh parsley, (for garnish)

Prepare breading stations combining flour, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Beating the eggs in another shallow dish. Combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third shallow dish.

Trim fat from pork chops so they don&#39;t curl while cooking. Pound until 1/4-inch thick between two pieces of plastic wrap using the smooth side of a meat mallet.

Lightly dredge each pork cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a baking sheet, then repeat with the remaining pork cutlets.

Heat oil in a large pan until very hot, about 350°F. Cook one schnitzel at a time, shaking the pan periodically so it doesn&#39;t stick to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked schnitzel to a wire rack set over a sheet pan and keep warm in a 200°F oven while frying remaining schnitzel.

Make the Schnitzel

Cook the bacon in a large pan over medium heat until crispy, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and set aside. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pan.

Saute the onions for 3 minutes until soft. Add the mushrooms and continue to cook another 5-7 minutes until tender. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute, stirring until the flour has absorbed the liquid in the pan and the mushrooms and onions are evenly coated.

Gradually add the beef broth while stirring. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the cream and reserved bacon, then remove from the heat.

Plate the schnitzel and top with the mushroom gravy. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with späetzle, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.

• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• zest of ½ lemon
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• oil and ghee for frying
• coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

Serves 4

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 20 minutes

Procedures:


1. Place a pork chop or steak in between two pieces of plastic wrap or in a plastic bag and gently pound it using a mallet or saucepot until it is ¼” thick. Repeat until all the pork has been pounded out.
2. In a shallow, wide bowl, mix the flour with the salt and pepper and set it aside.
3. Using a separate shallow, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, nutmeg, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until combined and set aside.
4. In another shallow, wide bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs with the salt and pepper and set it aside. 
5. Using your left hand, dredge 1 pounded-out pork chop or steak in the flour, ensuring it's completely covered.
6. Remove any excess flour and then add it to the egg wash bowl, and, using your other hand, move it around until it is coated in the mixture.
7. Shake off any excess egg wash and place it next to the breadcrumbs, and going back to your other hand, shake the pan to cover the pork completely while pressing the crumbs in to ensure they are coating it. 
8. Place it on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and repeat the process until all the pork is breaded. 
9. Heat the oil and ghee over medium to low heat in a large non-stick frying pan until it reaches 350°.

11. Flip the pork over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. You can baste the pork with the hot oil once you’ve flipped it to help further brown it. 
12. Remove the pork and set it on a rack over a sheet tray to drain any excess oil.
13. Repeat the process until all the pork has been cooked and then serve with lemon wedges and optional minced parsley.

flour

eggs (lightly beaten)

onion (finely diced)

thyme (fresh if possible, minced)

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry pork cutlets until golden-brown and crispy.*** About 3-4 minutes on each side.

Add bacon to the skillet and fry until they begin to crisp. Add onions and saute with the bacon until tender. Next, add mushrooms back into the skillet. Mix well.

Add beef broth, heavy cream, and thyme. Simmer on medium heat until the liquid has reduced by about half. Add fresh parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.
