Badisches Kirsch-Schnitzel, or Baden Cherry Schnitzel, is a traditional dish from the Baden region of Germany. This delightful recipe combines the savory flavors of a crispy schnitzel with the sweet and tangy taste of cherries, creating a unique and delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 4 pork schnitzels
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 can (14 oz) pitted cherries, drained
- 1/2 cup cherry juice
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs into three separate shallow dishes.
- Dredge each schnitzel in the flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the schnitzels for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the cherries, cherry juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
