Citrus Crusted Pork Schnitzel with Capers

Citrus Crusted Pork Schnitzel with Capers
This schnitzel recipe is a delightful surprise. Crispy golden cutlets are elevated with a bright citrus note in the breadcrumbs, perfectly balancing the richness. The sharp pop of capers on top adds an extra zing that takes it to the next level. It's easy enough for a weeknight meal but impressive enough for guests. The flavors are beautifully balanced – rich, zesty, and tangy all at once. Serve it up and watch it disappear in no time!
Ingredients
  • 8 pork cutlets (1 1/2 pounds / 680 g)
  • 4 eggs (200 g)
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (50 g) panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons (6 g) lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) capers, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons (10 g) salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) black pepper
  • Oil for frying (1/2 inch / 1 cm depth)
Instructions

1. Carefully crack the eggs into a shallow dish and beat them until well combined

2. In another shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper

3. In a third shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and melted butter until evenly coated

4. Dip each pork cutlet into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess

5. Next, dip the cutlet into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated

6. Finally, press the cutlet into the panko breadcrumb mixture, gently coating all sides

7. Heat 1/2 inch (1 cm) of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat

8. Carefully add the pork cutlets to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side

9. Use tongs or a spatula to transfer the cooked schnitzel to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil

10. Sprinkle the chopped capers over the top of the schnitzel and serve immediately while hot

11. Remember to handle the hot skillet and oil with care to avoid burns or splatters
