About Wienerschnitzel

Wienerschnitzel is a classic Austrian dish that consists of a breaded and fried veal cutlet. Traditionally, the veal is pounded thin, dipped in flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs, then pan-fried until golden and crispy. While the dish originates from Austrian cuisine, it has become popular worldwide for its savory flavor and satisfying texture. Wienerschnitzel is high in protein due to its meat base, making it a good source of energy and essential amino acids. However, it is also high in calories and fat because of the frying process and breadcrumbs, which absorb oil during cooking. Typically served with lemon wedges and sides like potato salad or lingonberry sauce, it can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. For a lighter version, some recipes use chicken or pork with baking instead of frying to reduce fat content.
