Comfort on a plate, my crispy Pork Schnitzel with braised cabbage is a must try. I love preparing these schnitzels in bulk and freezing them. I have included directions for freezing and cooking from frozen in this recipe. This is the ultimate pub-style meal made even better at home!
Note 1 – Pork loin steaks can be found at most supermarkets. Look for steaks that are between 0.5 – 1cm thick. They don’t need to be pounded. Pork loin steaks generally have a thin layer of fat on them. If the pork steak is thicker than 1cm, gently pound it with a rolling pin or mallet to create an even thickness. If more than 0.5cm of fat is visible on the pork steak, trim it.
Note 2 – Use Canola, vegetable oil or good-quality olive oil to shallow fry the schnitzels. The base of the pan will need to be completely covered and at least 0.5cm deep to fry.
MAKE AHEAD – Crumb the pork schnitzel as per the recipe and cover it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Cook as per the recipe. Freeze for up to 2 months in an airtight, reusable zip lock bag or container. Place sheets of baking paper between the layers of schnitzel to stop them from sticking to each other. Thaw completely in the fridge overnight prior to use. Cook as per the recipe.
LEFTOVERS – Refrigerate cooked pork schnitzel for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, and the coating may soften. Not suitable to freeze.
