Beef Schnitzel With A Yogurt Dill Sauce
With a crispy coating and tender fillet of meat, it’s no wonder that schnitzel is a popular dish in many parts of the world.
What exactly is schnitzel? And where did it come from?
First the dish is of German cuisine. The name comes from the German word schnitt, which translates to “cut.”
The most popular type of meat for schnitzel is veal, or meat from a young calf.
The meat is usually thinned by pounding with a meat tenderizer. Most commonly, the cutlet is breaded before frying.
Breaded schnitzel is popular in many countries and is made using veal (traditionally), though pork, chicken, mutton, beef and turkey can also be used.
Schnitzel is very similar to the dish “Escalope” in France and Spain, “tonkatsu” in Japan, “Cotoletta” in Italy, “Kotlet Schabowy” in Poland, “Milanese” in Argentina, “Chuleta Valluna” in Colombia, and “Chicken-Fried Steak” in the United States.
