Pork Schnitzel With Tomato & Caper Sauce Recipe

Although pork schnitzel is a popular German dish, it is also a dish that was often on our dinner table growing up. This was a common dinner on a weeknight, or sometimes they were perfect for a Sunday night family dinner. This recipe has been a favorite to this day!

Schnitzel is meat that has been tenderized and pounded to a thin piece, then fried in oil. We usually see schnitzel breaded, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be! I’ve tried some fantastic schnitzel without breading. My recipe here is for a classic pork schnitzel with a super easy breadcrumb coating.

Pretty much anything can be schnitzel-fied. Check out my recipe for Chicken Schnitzel to switch it up! You can also try this with thin tenderized steaks, but keep in mind that beef when it’s that thin can only be cooked well done and may turn out tough as a result. At most German restaurants schnitzel is usually always made from veal, because it’s nice and tender.

My favorite way to serve pork schnitzel is with fresh lemon wedges and mustard! Add a big heap of creamy mashed potatoes, and you’ve got the perfect meal.

Store your schnitzel in an airtight container in the fridge, and it will last 3-4 days. To reheat, place it on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes, and turn halfway through. This isn’t a great one to reheat in the microwave because the breading will get soggy.

You can also freeze your schnitzel if you’d like! They will store well in either a large freezer bag, or an airtight container. Lay them all flat on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for an hour before putting them in a container. This will prevent them from sticking and freezing into a lump.

Seriously, I have no idea where she learned or made up that recipe, but there are so many variations on this delicious dish and yet hers is not one of them. Naturally, schnitzel is on our list of foods you must eat when visiting Germany.

What you do with your schnitzel after it is cooked is also up to you. That traditional Wiener Schnitzel is served on the plate with a slice or two of lemon, a sprig of parsley, and serving of potato (usually potato salad or french fries) on the side.

Other schnitzel options include a variety of sauces, most cream based and featuring some kind of mushroom. There’s Jaegerschnitzel (Hunter Schnitzel), covered in a brown, gravy-like mushroom sauce; Zigeunerschnitzel (Pepper Schnitzel), with its sauce of tomatoes, bell peppers, and onion; Rahmschnitzel (Cream Schnitzel), a rich cream sauce, usually with mushrooms; Mexikanschnitzel, covered in jalapenos and cheese baked on top (uberbaecken); Hawaiischnitzel, add a slice of ham, pineapple, and cheese on top and baked in the oven; and so on, and so on…the possibilities are limitless!

Spargel or white asparagusis one of Germany’s most loved products. In early spring, wooden huts spring up selling this seasonal favorite and many dishes are created just for it. We also love spargel season and it goes extremely well as a schnitzel variation. Yum!

Classic Pork Schnitzel

The sliver of land that is known as the Alsace is a mix of the best French and German cuisine, and this schnitzel is an homage to that talent. It is by far my favorite!

Cream and mushrooms, who can ask for more? It’s no wonder that this schnitzel is probably the number one variation served in Germany. When I first moved here, it was the first I tried, and of course I kept eating everywhere I went.

Just like you would imagine, it's just like a Hawaiian pizza with pineapple, ham, and cheese. It's definitely a fan favorite, especially for the under 20s.

I would say that usually you will see some type of potato, more often french fries (pommes frites) or fried potatoes (bratkartoffeln). For vegetables, my favorite is the beans wrapped in bacon, but I’ve also seen a lot of peas.
