Jägerschnitzel with Zesty Dijon Sauce

Jägerschnitzel with Zesty Dijon Sauce

Jägerschnitzel is a classic German dish featuring breaded and fried pork cutlets served with a rich mushroom sauce. The twist in this recipe is the addition of a zesty Dijon sauce that complements the traditional flavors perfectly.

Ingredients:

• 4 pork cutlets
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pork Cutlets:

• Season the pork cutlets with salt and pepper.
• Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
• Dip each cutlet first in flour, then in egg, and finally in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

2. Fry the Cutlets:

• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
• Fry the breaded cutlets until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
• Remove the cutlets and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

3. Make the Mushroom Sauce:

• In another pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent.
• Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they’re soft and lightly browned.
• Pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for a few minutes.
• Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce thicken, which should take about 5 minutes.

4. Prepare the Dijon Sauce:

• In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and chopped parsley with a little bit of water to thin it out if necessary. Set aside.

5. Assemble the Dish:

• Place the fried pork cutlets on serving plates.
• Spoon the mushroom sauce generously over the cutlets.
• Drizzle a bit of the zesty Dijon sauce on top for an extra kick.

Serving Suggestion: Serve this Jägerschnitzel with Zesty Dijon Sauce alongside mashed potatoes or spaetzle and a side of green vegetables for a complete meal.
