Jagerschnitzel

Mushroom and Onion Gravy

Mashed Potatoes

Pickled Red Cabbage

Method

Jagerschnitzel

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork

    Pound the pork loin to about 1/2 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Bread the Pork

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. Place flour in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third. Dredge each piece of pork in flour, dip into the eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Fry the Pork

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded pork for about 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

Mushroom and Onion Gravy

  1. 4

    Sauté Onions and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet used for frying the pork, melt the butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until translucent. Add mushrooms and garlic, cooking until the mushrooms are soft.

  2. 5

    Make the Gravy

    Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Cook until the gravy thickens slightly. Stir in chopped parsley before serving.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mash until creamy and smooth.

Pickled Red Cabbage

  1. 8

    Prepare the Pickling Mixture

    In a bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until dissolved.

  2. 9

    Pickle the Cabbage

    Add the shredded red cabbage to the vinegar mixture. Toss well and let sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.
