This schnitzel recipe for four only costs around £4.55 to make. Use chicken or turkey breasts, flattened, instead of the pork, if you like. You can freeze the sauerkraut for up to 2 months.
Ingredients
- 4 x 125g pork escalopes, bashed out to about 75mm thickness
- 100g plain flour, seasoned
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 100g fresh breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
- Lemon wedges, to serve
For the red cabbage sauerkraut
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, finely sliced
- 600g red cabbage, shredded
- 2 red apples, halved, cored and
- thinly sliced
- 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2 tsp light muscovado sugar
Method
- 1. Make the sauerkraut. Gently heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion and cook for 6-8 minutes, until soft. Add the cabbage, apples, vinegar and sugar. Toss together with a good pinch of salt. Cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 2. Meanwhile, dust each escalope with the flour and dip into the egg. Press into the breadcrumbs to coat.
- 3. Add 2cm vegetable oil to a frying pan and put over a medium heat. When hot, cook the pork schnitzels for 2-3 minutes each side, until cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the sauerkraut, lemon wedges to squeeze over and broccoli, if you like.
