Prep the Pork: Remove the fat cap from the pork loin. Butterfly it, then pound it thin using a meat mallet for even cooking.
Bread the Pork: Set up a breading station with three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Coat each piece of pork in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs.
How to Cook 🍳
Fry the Schnitzel
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Pan-fry the breaded pork until golden brown and cooked through, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Make the Caper Brown Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, melt butter until it begins to brown.
Stir in capers and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Plate the Schnitzel
Top the schnitzel with sauerkraut and sautéed cabbage mixed with parsley.
Drizzle with the caper brown butter sauce.
How to Pair:
In a shaker, combine whisky, lemon juice, and simple syrup with ice.
Shake well and strain into a glass over fresh ice.
