Ingredients: 700 g pork ořech/leg, sliced into thin slices and pounded; salt, freshly ground pepper; 3 eggs (beaten with 1 crushed clove of garlic and a pinch of salt); breadcrumbs for coating; oil for frying; 3 tablespoons full-fat mustard; 3–4 tablespoons ketchup; 2 cloves garlic, crushed; 2 tablespoons oil; 3 tablespoons butter; 400 ml stock or water; 1 medium onion, finely chopped; (optional) 1 teaspoon vegetable seasoning like „vegeta“

Preparation procedure

Preparing the schnitzels Salt and pepper the meat slices. Coat first in breadcrumbs, then in the beaten eggs with garlic. Heat oil in a pan and quickly sear the schnitzels on both sides until golden (just enough to brown, do not cook through). Transfer them to a deeper baking dish and sprinkle with finely chopped onion.
Mustard sauce In a saucepan melt the butter, add the oil, mustard, ketchup and garlic. Stir, pour in the stock/water, and season with vegetable seasoning if desired. Heat briefly and mix until smooth.
Baking in the oven Pour the sauce evenly over the schnitzels in the baking dish and cover (with a lid/foil). Bake in a preheated oven at 220 °C for about 45 minutes. Remove the lid/foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes so the surface lightly browns and the sauce reduces.
Serving Serve with boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, rice or fries. A simple cucumber salad is also excellent.

Tip: If you want a stronger sauce, stir in a teaspoon of Dijon mustard at the end. For a milder version you can stir in a tablespoon of cream after baking.
