Pork Cutlet

Mushroom Gravy

Spätzle

Red Cabbage

Mini Onion Pie

Method

Pork Cutlet

1

Prepare the Pork

Pound the pork loin pieces to about 1/2 inch thick using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2

Breading Process

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each pork cutlet first in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

3

Frying the Cutlets

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Mushroom Gravy

4

Sauté Mushrooms and Onions

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped onion; sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

5

Add Garlic

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

6

Make the Gravy

Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring to combine. Gradually add chicken broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and let thicken.

7

Finish with Cream

Stir in heavy cream, season with salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Spätzle

8

Mix Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, salt, and nutmeg until smooth.

9

Cook Spätzle

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Use a spätzle maker or colander to drop the batter into boiling water. Cook until they float, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Red Cabbage

10

Prepare the Cabbage

Shred the red cabbage and place it in a large pot.

11

Cook with Vinegar and Sugar

Add apple cider vinegar, sugar, and salt to the pot. Cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.

Mini Onion Pie

12

Prepare the Filling

Slice the onions and sauté them in a skillet until soft and translucent.

13

Mix Egg and Cream

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the sautéed onions.

14

Fill the Pie Crust

Pour the onion mixture into the ready-made pie crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes or until set and golden.
