German Inspired Pork Schnitzel

with Roasted Potatoes and Beetroot

Golden, crispy and light, our take on the classic German schnitzel is a winning weeknight recipe. Whilst we’ve served ours with a peppery rocket salad and roasted beetroot and potatoes, in Germany, schnitzel comes in a surprising number of different variations. Jägerschnitzel is the most popular variety, served with a rich mushroom gravy, closely followed by Zigeunerschnitzel, where it is served alongside a zesty red pepper sauce. German food tastes even better in Germany – visit https://www.hellofresh.co.uk/landing/enjoygermanfood for your chance to win a foodie trip to the Black Forest!

Instructions

Roast the Potatoes
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C. Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel!) and pop on a baking tray. Drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper, toss to coat then spread out and roast on the middle shelf of your oven till golden and crispy, 30-35 mins, turning halfway.

Beetroot Time
2

Meanwhile, trim and peel each beetroot then chop each into eight wedges. TIP: Wear gloves if you don't want to stain your hands a funky pink colour! When the potatoes are halfway through cooking, add the beetroot to the tray, give everything a shake and return to the oven for the remainder of the time. TIP: The beetroot are cooked when you can just slip a knife through. Meanwhile, start to make the crumb!

Crumbs
3

Zest the lemon and pop into a bowl. Mix in the panko, oregano, olive oil for crumb (see ingredients for amount) and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Tip onto a plate. Bash the pork steak with a rolling pin until 1cm thick all over. Repeat with the other steak(s). Smear one side of the pork with a little mayo to cover it. Place mayo-side-down in the crumbs. Smear the exposed side with mayo and turn it over so both sides are coated. Repeat for the other steak(s).

Cook the Pork
4

Heat a good splash of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. When hot, carefully lay in the pork schnitzels and fry until golden and cooked through, turning halfway, 8-10 mins. IMPORTANT: The pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Make the Dressing
5

Meanwhile, pick the mint leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks). In a small bowl, stir together the balsamic vinegar, honey and olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper then stir through half the mint. Pop the rocket in a bowl and drizzle over half the dressing. Toss together just before serving.

Serve
6

Serve the roasted potatoes and beetroots on your plates topped with the pork schnitzel. Arrange the rocket alongside and finish all with a drizzle of remaining dressing and a scattering of remaining mint. Guten Appetit!
