PORK SCHNITZEL RECIPE:

Tonight's dinner was delicious if your tired of the same old this is definitely a recipe you should try.

INGREDIENTS

Pork Tenderloin Cut Into rounds

1/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon  salt 

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 egg, beaten

2 Tbsp milk

3/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs or panko

1 teaspoon paprika

3 Tbsp olive oil

3/4 cup chicken stock

2 Tbsp of Bisto or thickener

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sour cream 

METHOD

1 Use a meat hammer to pound the pork cutlets to 1/4-1/8 inch thickness. Cut small slits around the edges of the cutlets to prevent curling.

2 Set out 3 shallow bowls. One with a mixture of the flour, seasoned salt, and pepper. The second with the egg and milk whisked together. The third with a mixture of the bread crumbs and paprika.

3 Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Dredge the cutlets first in the seasoned flour, then dip the cutlets in the egg mixture, and then into the mixture of bread crumbs and paprika.

4 Working in batches, sauté the cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and cover with foil or place in a warm oven to keep warm.

5 Add the chicken stock into the skillet to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen the brown bits. In a small bowl mix salt into the sour cream. Stir the sour cream mixture into the chicken stock, Add the thickener. Heat and stir until mixture thickens.

Serve the cutlets with the sauce. Serves 6-8

Strawberry Blueberry Custard Tarts

Tonight I shared these with family and friends they were delish!

I kind of cheated but I bought the frozen tart shells, thawed

and heated them at 375 for 10 minutes and let them cool

I cut up strawberriesand made the glaze for the berries.  It is a package that you

mix 2/3 cup of sugar, the contents of the package and 1 cup

of hot water, whisk until mixed and add the berries then put

in the refridgerator.   I opened a can of great value devon custard

and put it into each of the cooled tarts, then added the fruit on top

and voila its done!  Nice & easy with very little prep work.  Enjoy!
