About Pork schnitzel

Pork schnitzel is a traditional dish rooted in German and Austrian cuisine, featuring a thinly pounded pork cutlet coated in seasoned breadcrumbs and fried until golden and crispy. Typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes paprika, the dish highlights the simple yet flavorful approach of Central European cooking. It is often served with lemon wedges, potato salad, or a light green salad. While pork schnitzel is high in protein and provides essential nutrients like B vitamins and minerals such as zinc and iron, it is also relatively high in calories and fat due to the frying process. To make it lighter, it can be baked or air-fried as an alternative. Enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, pork schnitzel can be a delicious indulgence that connects diners to its rich culinary heritage.
