Ingredients
- 6 cutlets veal or pork cutlets(optional)
- 3 cups bread crumbs
- to taste salt and pepper
- 3 small firm tomatoes
- 2 eggs
- Crisco
- 2 lemons
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash and dry the cutlets. Pound each side of the cutlets about 10 times with a tenderizing hammer or 15-20 times with the side of a saucer. Salt and pepper both sides.
Step 2
Break eggs into a bowl; add salt and pepper and beat well with a fork. Heat Crisco in a frying pan. Dip both sides of the schnitzel in egg, then in bread crumbs, ensuring it is thickly covered. Fry in the frying pan on medium-high heat, taking care not to crowd the meat.
Step 3
Once the outside of the schnitzel is golden brown, reduce heat and continue frying until done through. Repeat this process for all schnitzels. Transfer the finished schnitzels to a cookie sheet and place in the oven to keep warm until all are ready. Serve immediately on prewarmed plates, garnished with tomato wedges, parsley, and a lemon wedge. Squeeze lemon juice on the schnitzels at the table if desired.
