GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

For the Wiener Schnitzel:
Meat:
  • Place cutlets between pieces of wax paper and gently pound with a meat mallet (or small heavy saucepan) until about ¼-inch (6-mm) thick. Rub cutlets with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set up 3 shallow dishes: 1 with flour, 1 with egg and 1 with breadcrumbs. Coat each cutlet well first with flour, then egg, then crumbs.
  • In a heavy frying pan, melt equal amounts of sufficient butter and lard to cover frying pan bottom to a depth of ½ inch (1.3 cm). Working 2 at a time, place cutlets in pan, immersing in fat. Shake pan gently as meat cooks to ensure cutlets do not stick. Cook 3–4 minutes over medium heat until cutlets begin to brown; turn over; cook another 1–2 minutes so both sides are golden brown. Drain on paper towels; sprinkle lightly with salt.
Potatoes:
  • Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water until easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain; place them back on the stove for a minute or so, uncovered. Peel; slice into wedges and place in a serving dish. Pour melted butter over potatoes, sprinkle with parsley and pepper.
Serving Suggestion:
  • Serve cutlets with potatoes and garnish with lemon. This dish pairs well with a sweet white wine like muscatel.
