Preparation Steps
1
Pound the pork cutlets until they are thin and even. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2
Place the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Dredge the cutlets first in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
3
Heat the lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded cutlets on both sides until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side).
4
While the schnitzel is frying, prepare the mushroom sauce: slice the mushrooms thinly and sauté them in butter until softened.
5
Pour in the white wine and heavy cream, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Serve the fried schnitzel topped with the mushroom sauce, garnished with fresh parsley. Serve with boiled potatoes or steamed rice.
