Reply to comment by Akurei_RS in [Homemade] Pork Schnitzel and Krautsalat by awcadwel

>The schnitzel is simply a bone in pork chop that I pounded thin and “dry-brined” with salt, pepper and mustard powder. Panko breadcrumbs for the added crunch.

this is everything but a real "schnitzel" mustard powder no, bone in also big no, bread crumbs yes, those looks like fried in cornflakes

Have to say tho looks delicious it is just not schnitzel

It’s in the spirit of schnitzel. I respect doing classic dishes to a T but it gets a little boring.

The bone-in is a fun presentation. The Panko Crumbs add a lovely crunch that I feel is missing sometime from classic schnitzel. The mustard powder was a last minute addition that added a nice body of flavor.

Not arguing with you, just throwing my thought process out there.

It was incredible. Was actually my first time dabbling in a more authentic German coleslaw and I was so happy with it. The caraway and brightness really compliments the schnitzel so well.

Edit: don’t get discouraged it’s just a meme by now that us austrians like to bitch about not cooking food one to one

Most American schools teach that the USA was a “melting pot” of cultures. But I do love pot.
