Schnitzel veal, chicken and pork versions with cucumber salad recipe/ Thin pieces (or pieces you can cut thin) of lean, tender meat, like veal cutlets, pork loin chops or chicken breast (it's gotta be veal for Weiner schnitzel) salt pepper flour egg (with maybe some mustard mixed in) breadcrumbs (I recommend panko that you process into a fine powder) oil (clarified butter or lard would be traditional, but a neutral frying oil would be fine) parsley for garnish (optional) lemon for garnish (not optional) If your meat isn't already really thin, cut it thin, then cover it with plastic wrap and pound it with something smooth and heavy until it's as thin as you can get it without tearing it apart. Season with salt and pepper. Dust in the flour and knock off any excess. Dip in the beaten egg and knock off any excess. Coat in breadcrumbs, but be gentle don't press the meat into the crumbs. Heat half an inch (1 cm) of oil at most (and probably a little less) over medium-high heat. Dip the edge of the meat into the oil. If it doesn't sizzle, get the oil hotter. If it goes totally crazy, turn the heat down. Fry the cutlets on each side until brown, flipping frequently so that you can see if anything is burning. There should be enough fat in the pan to where the meat is floating, but not submerged. As soon as they look done on the outside, they'll almost certainly be done on the inside. Drain on a rack or paper towels. Top with optional parsley and mandatory fresh lemon juice at the table. CLARIFIED BUTTER RECIPE Put your butter (half a pound or 227g is a good amount for frying some schnitzel) into a narrow pot and turn the heat on medium-low. Wait until the butter melts and then seems to boil out most of its water about half an hour. If the butter isn't really boiling, you can turn up the heat, but you'll prob need to turn it back down again when the bubbling starts to slow it can easily burn once most of the water is out. When the. bubbling has slowed down a lot, either stop, or let the milk solids brown a bit (that's ghee. Strain twice through a sieve with a paper towel in it to get out all the milk sugars and proteins. CUCUMBER SALAD RECIPE 1 English cucumber (or two of a smaller variety) 1/2 a red onion any neutral vinegar any neutral oil (or replace the oil with sour cream) fresh dill salt pepper sugar Thinly slice the cucumber and onion and combine in a bowl. Chop up the dill and put it in. Give it a pinch of salt and pepper, and a big pinch or two of sugar. Splash in maybe a tablespoon each of vinegar and oil to start with. If replacing the oil with sour cream, you might want about half a cup (120 ml. Stir thoroughly and let sit in the fridge for a few hours, or overnight. Stir again and taste. Add more of whatever it needs

Mmm those Schnitzel looks really good, I would try them out although, if you read this Adam or anyone else, please try the Argentinian version Milanesa.
First of all, you could make it with pork, chicken and meat, but the meat is not the same, maybe that is good but there is a cut that for us Argentinians is like the Premium cut for this but I have seen North American saying that this cut is completely useless, and it's the Eye of Round, cuted very thin you would get small pieces and that's okay.
The prime most difference between is the preparation not the ingredients here (almost.
Grab the meat, salt it.
Mix egg with a pinch of salt and pepper, at taste add minced garlic and minced parsley, that's the egg mixture.
Use breadcrumbs if you want a hard crunch use panko if you want a crispy crunchy little thingy, I like breadcrumbs, put a LOT of breadcrumbs (store bought don't mind making it) in a metal deep oven sheet.
Now, don't pound the meat with that metal thingy and then just let the breadcrumbs stick do the opposity, you're letting the meat to pass juices to the outside, you need to make a hard shell. Let's do the opposity.
Put the meat in the breadcrumbs first (not flour, breadcrumbs down, breadcrumbs on top and pound it with the hard part of your palm right up the wrist, you will tenderize the meat with your hand and with the coarse breadcrumbs at the same time, then go through the egg mixture and breadcrumbs again and repeat, violently hit it (help forgetting your issues believe me hit that meat.
At the end you will have something that you won't believe the size of it compared with what you started.
Then freeze them, you could just make 3 kg of it and put it in the freezer and grab a few when you need them, and then deep fry them on sunflower oil.
Best companions of this are. French Fries, smash potatoes, any salad, and specially arugula with minced garlic and olive oil, and my favourite Russian Salad (olivier salad without meat.
Great thing to do next if you want an extra punch? after you fry it, put some tomatoe sauce on top with a pinch of salt, olive oil and basil (pizza sauce) and some mozzarella, and there you have it Milanesa a la napolitana, but you could actually put whatever on top. 4 cheeses? great, bechamel with rockefort? great, saute some veggies mainly different types of bell peppers in thin slices? great, American style with bacon and eggs? also great!
Regards!

I am German and I approve this recipe.
Also I am from Nordhessen a part in central Germany (we are the part of Germany, that gave you Grimms fairytales, the very first working steam enginw, the Tiger Tanks, the Documenta Art Convention and fought with the British against the US.
Here we often eat a Schmandschnitzel, which is a Pork Schnitzel (Schweineschnitzel) that is served with a bacon(Speck)-onion sour cream sauce and panfried potatoes.
Absolutely delicious, absolutely artery clogging, we make europes comfort food, if you want healthy food go to Italy.
Post Scriptum:
The village I grew up in is the village where Denise Papin build the first steam engine, a castle 10km away from my hometown is where sleeping is set to take place, the forest in between is where little red riding hood is set in and another castle 20km away is where rapunzel is set in.
There is also much more cool stuff in Nordhessen.
So if you may consider visiting Germany, I would ask you to fly to Kassel (our Regional capital with 200k inhabitants) and not Berlin or Munich, it is way less overcrowded way cheaper is easy to acces by Plane, Trai or Autobahn and we are a kind people, that will welcome you.
If you especially more into countryside, visit tje Hofgeismar county north of Kassel, where also my lovely hometown of Reinhardshagen is located.

Dude from Vienna here: A lot of places here, by now, call it Wiener Schnitzel even if it's not veal. It's a lot more about the breadding and how it's done. Traditional restaurants will still serve it how it's originally supposed to be, but through generations (kids just liking chicken nuggets definitely added a lot to that) and lots of different cultures all colliding it's pretty common by now to have chicken or pork Schnitzel that you can still call Wiener Schnitzel. Also, little pro tip. don't squeeze the lemon over the whole thing, just the parts you are about to eat, and then squeeze the rest a bit later. Keeps it from getting too soggy if you got too much on a part.
ALSO ALSO: Yes, you are supposed to shake the pan slightly while cooking it, that way you also don't have to flip it as often. I know that because my mom absolutely despised any restaurant who messed that up. The breadding is not supposed to stick on the meat. And it really does make a difference in taste too, i'll attest to that. But i'm a scrub and i don't mind it either way.
But hey, great video! Love it.

Hey Adam, from my experience, America has not phased out keeping calves in crates. I just recently visited my hometown in the Midwest, deep in the family-owned cow farm country. I specifically remember seeing rows of white boxes, with tiny calves in them right in front of the farmhouses. I m not a vegan, vegetarian, or animal-rights activist by any means. I am also not a heifer breeder, but to my knowledge, these animals are raised in the white crates immediately after birth, and spend all of their time, the entire day and night, in these crates. Their purpose is only to be bred for veal meat consumption. (Same idea with dairy cows, but they are stuffed in those buildings, standing in their own fecal matter, just being milked all day. Just wanted to comment on that experience I remembered, as always, great vid and once in a lifetime DOUBLE YOLK!

Please don t eat veal.
Im not a member of PETA or anything, I eat all kinds of meat.
I had a job inspecting properties for commercial sale and we did a farm one time.
There were no cows there at the time but I saw the rows of pens where they would chain the calves to stakes so they couldn t move so their meat would be tender.
I know meat production isn t pretty but veal crosses the same line as foie gras, where they force feed ducks to make their liver fatty.
It s easy to ignore when It s out of sight out of mind, but once I saw how It s done - even with no calves in the pens, it completely changed my opinion on consuming veal.

Wiener Schnitzel is veal, it cant be anything else Thats a surprisingly political statement. Its historically correct, though because its cheaper, pork is possibly more common to be used here in
Vienna. The question whether pork Schnitzel is traditional or not was made political when politician tried to encourage serving veal schnitzel in schools to be more inclusive towards muslim students.
In restaurants and supermarkets here in Vienna, you can find Schnitzel with meal, pork, chicken and turkey. A classic meal to go duribg the workday is getting a Schnitzel Sandwich with Ketchup.

Chicken breast schnitzel with fries is a very traditional kids meal in israel. Eastern European immigrants brought the schnitzel to Mandatory Palestine, and since pork isn't kosher and beef was expensive there, they stuck to chicken.
Also my mom would be very proud of herself she's been using panko for years

guy from vienna here: adam nailed it.
protip #1: leftover schnitzel in a kaiserroll makes a great sandwich (Schnitzelsemmel)
protip #2: if you are looking for that 9th degree schnitzelmaster skills - search for kein stress kochen wiener schnitzel here on yt. (audio is austrian-german)

Fun fact about my country (Czech Republic): Schnitzel is actually a part of our traditional Christmas dinner. A typical Czech Christmas dinner consists of fried carp, chicken/beef/pork schnitzel and potato salad. And also fish stew made from all the bits from the carp that don't get fried.

I honestly think people who have the mindset of if its not traditional its a sin/shit arent the sharpest tools in the shed because honestly who cares, if it tastes good it taste goods, its just like music, if it sounds good it sounds good, doesnt matter what genre it is, its just good
