Everyone in the family enjoyed this so much. I’ll have to make a double batch next time!

Pork schnitzel is a dish that carries with it a sense of tradition and comfort, much like a well-loved family quilt. Originating from the heart of Europe, this crispy, golden-brown delight has found its way into Midwestern kitchens, becoming a staple at family gatherings and Sunday dinners. The beauty of schnitzel lies in its simplicity and the joy it brings when shared with loved ones. Its flaky crust and tender meat make it a dish that warms the soul, reminding us of the importance of preserving culinary traditions.

Pork schnitzel pairs beautifully with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a tangy potato salad, both of which complement the crispy texture of the schnitzel. A fresh cucumber salad or a simple green salad with a light vinaigrette adds a refreshing contrast. For a touch of sweetness, serve with a dollop of lingonberry jam or a slice of lemon to brighten the flavors. And of course, a slice of hearty rye bread on the side never goes amiss.
