Instructions
Pork cutlets
- Using a meat mallet, flatten the pork cutlets between two sheets of parchment paper, until they are around ½ inch (1 cm) thick.
- In a dish, combine the flour and pepper.
- In another dish, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
- Dip the pork cutlets in the flour and pepper mixture, then dip them in the egg and buttermilk, and finally cover them with breadcrumbs.
- Leave to rest for 15 minutes on a sheet of baking paper.
- Heat a large amount of oil in a large pan over medium heat to a temperature of 338 F (170°C).
- Place the pork cutlets into the hot oil, and fry for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels.
Mushroom sauce
- In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
- Add the flour, stirring constantly until the mixture resembles a paste and turns dark brown.
- Slowly add broth in small amounts, stirring constantly to prevent any lumps. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg, onion, parsley, bacon, tomato and mushrooms, then reduce heat to low.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
To serve
- Place the schnitzel on a plate and pour over the mushroom sauce, or onto the side. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- French fries, croquettes or even mashed potatoes go perfectly with jägerschnitzel.
