PORK SCHNITZEL WITH QUICK PICKLES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• PREPARE THE PICKLES: Grate the zest from one of the limes and juice them both. Add zest and juice to a shallow bowl along with the remaining pickle ingredients and toss well. Let sit for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Chill if letting them sit for longer than 4 hours. Meanwhile, prepare the pork: Mix flour with cayenne and nutmeg. Place flour mixture in one shallow dish, place eggs in a second dish, and place bread crumbs in a third dish. Season pork cutlets generously with salt and pepper. Heat 1/8 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While oil heats, dip cutlets one by one into flour (shake off any excess), then into eggs (ditto) and finally into the bread crumbs, taking care not to handle pork more than necessary (hold meat by ends). When oil sizzles when a pinch of bread crumbs is thrown in, add as many cutlets as comfortably fit in one layer, leaving plenty of room around them. Swirl and tilt pan so oil cascades over top of cutlet in waves. When bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes, flip and brown the other side, swirling pan (swirling helps create air pockets, giving you lighter schnitzel). Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking platter or baking tray and sprinkle with more salt. Repeat with remaining pork. Serve pork sprinkled with scallion and drizzled with a little of the pickle juice, accompanied by the pickles and the lingonberry jam, if you like.

PORK SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Freeze the pork loin until lightly firm at the edges, about 1 hour. Slice the pork as thin as you can (about an 1/8 inch thick) and lay each slice between 2 pieces of parchment or plastic wrap. Gently pound to create super thin cutlets, then season the pork on both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
• Combine the panko and Parmesan in a shallow bowl. Place the flour and eggs each in their own separate shallow bowls.
• Working with one piece of pork at a time, dredge in the flour, then dip in the eggs, letting the excess drip off, then coat in the panko-Parmesan mixture, shaking off any excess. Set on a parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat with the remaining pork.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Set a wire rack inside a second baking sheet. Cook the pork, 1 to 2 pieces at a time, until brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked pork to the wire rack. Continue with the remaining pork, wiping out the skillet as needed and adding the remaining 2 tablespoons oil.
• Sprinkle the cooked pork with flaky sea salt. Serve hot, with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.

PICKLE SCHNITZEL-PICKLE-BRINED PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET AND SPICY PEPPERS

Steps:

• Combine the pickle juice, pepper juice and pork chops in a large zipper-top bag. Brine at least overnight and at most 24 hours, flipping the bag halfway through.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Toss the piquante peppers, bell peppers and onions with the olive oil in a bowl. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until slightly charred and soft, about 20 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 200 degrees F and keep warm until ready to serve.
• Take the chops out of the bag (discard the brine) and dry them off with paper towels. Place a chop between plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until 1/2 inch thick. Make sure you pound around the bone but keep the bone intact; this adds flavor and plating dramatics. Repeat with the remaining chops.
• Set up an F. E. B. station with flour, egg and breadcrumbs in separate shallow containers; season the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper. Season each chop with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour, coat with the egg and then coat in the breadcrumbs, ensuring the breadcrumbs adhere to all the nooks and crannies.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and heat until very hot. Working in 2 batches, fry the chops 2 at a time until golden on each side, 4 to 5 minutes a side. Keep the chops warm on a wire-racked baking sheet in the oven while you repeat with the remaining chops.
• Plate each chop over a serving of the peppers and onions and serve with 2 lemon wedges to squeeze on top.
