Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal or pork cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter or neutral oil (for frying)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place each veal or pork cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound the meat with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Season both sides of the cutlets with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with gluten-free flour, one with the eggs (lightly beaten), and one with gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Dredge each cutlet first in the gluten-free flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it evenly with gluten-free breadcrumbs. Gently press the breadcrumbs onto the meat to ensure they adhere. Repeat with all cutlets.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter or oil. Once hot, place 2 cutlets in the skillet and fry for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 6

Wipe the skillet clean if necessary, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter or oil, and cook the remaining cutlets in the same way.

Step 7

Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and optional parsley. Wienerschnitzel pairs well with a side of potato salad, cucumber salad, or steamed vegetables.
