In Germany, Schnitzel is usually made of pork, although turkey, chicken and veal are also common. The pork loin is pounded to a 1 cm thickness, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then dipped into flour, egg and bread crumbs. It is usually served with French fries, mashed potatoes, or Spätzle. The dish has been extremely popular since the end of the Second World War.
Ingredients:
600 g pork loin chops, thinly cut
1 cup flour
1 cup bread crumbs, plain

vegetable oil for frying
Preparation:
- Pound pork with a flat side of the mallet until the meat is 1 cm thick.
