Schnitzel is a popular dish originating from Central Europe, particularly Austria and Germany, where it takes center stage in traditional cuisine. It consists of a thin slice of meat—commonly veal, pork, or chicken—breaded and fried to golden perfection. The meat is tenderized, coated with flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then pan-fried in oil or butter, resulting in a crispy exterior and juicy interior. While schnitzel is high in protein, the frying process can add significant amounts of fat and calories, depending on the cooking oil used. For a healthier version, baking or air-frying can be alternatives. Typically served with side dishes like potato salad, lemon wedges, or lingonberry jam, schnitzel combines convenience and flavor, offering a satisfying meal that appeals to many cultures globally.
