Here’s a delicious recipe for Pork Schnitzel with Dijon Gravy that’s sure to impress!
Ingredients
For the Pork Schnitzel:
- 4 boneless pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Dijon Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pork:
- Place each pork chop between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to about 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Set Up Breading Station:
- Place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes.
- Bread the Pork:
- Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Fry the Schnitzel:
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Dijon Gravy:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Stir in the flour, cooking for about 1 minute to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, stirring constantly until smooth. Add the Dijon mustard and heavy cream (if using). Simmer for a few minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve:
- Plate the schnitzel and drizzle with the Dijon gravy. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Tips
- Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
- You can also add a squeeze of lemon over the schnitzel for extra brightness.
Enjoy your Pork Schnitzel with Dijon Gravy! It’s a delightful dish that combines crispy and savory flavors.
