Schnitzel (Translated from German)

Recipes are coming!  I recently transferred the website over to www.grandmascookbook.ca and had my fair share of glitches to iron out.  I now have a backlog of recipes ready to send out.

schnitzel_plateTo start us off, the oh so good Pork Schnitzel.  I think I’ve cooked pork (non-ground) once in my life before?  It isn’t something we grew up with.. but this perfects Pork perfectly!!  We used Pork Chops.  I’m sure there is a perfect cut designed for Schnitzel – but pork chops worked great.

If you don’t have a meat mallet, don’t go out and buy one!  I used a wine bottle, but a full ketchup bottle or BBQ sauce, etc would work just fine.  Maybe even a rolling pin!

My little guy is on the move now, and as I’m adjusting to that – I had to take a few shortcuts in meal prep.  I did not make the gravy, but imagine it would taste great. I will leave the instructions below.  I also pounded the meat earlier in the afternoon and kept it in the refrigerator until closer to meal time.
