Romanian Pork Schnitzel Recipe
The Romanian pork schnitzel recipe is the perfect comfort food. Imagine crispy breading on the outside, soft and tender meat on the inside. A fantastic and quick meal to do on a busy weeknight.
Ingredients
- 4 pork chops
- 2 eggs
- 3-4 tbsp flour
- 4-5 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 150-200 ml vegetable oil for frying
- salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- Start by tenderising the meat with a meat tenderiser until it’s 4-5 mm thick.
- Prepare three plates: one for the flour, one for the breadcrumbs, and a bowl for the eggs.
- Lightly beat the eggs.
- Salt and pepper the tenderised pork chops.
- Heat up the vegetable oil in a deep pan.
- Pass each pork chop first through the flour, second through the egg mixture, and third through the breadcrumbs.
- Once the oil is hot, add the pork chops to the pan.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan. My pan was big enough for 2 chops at a time.
- Fry until golden on each side, then remove from the pan and let the schnitzel rest on a kitchen towel. This will absorb the oil excess.
- Serve the pork schnitzels hot with mashed potatoes and pickles.
