Jagerschnitzel! This is a lovely easy recipe for Pork pan fried in butter then topped with a delicious mushroom sauce. Very popular In parts of Germany and often served with Spaetzle or pasta.
Jagerschnitzel! Most of you will have eaten the traditional German Schnitzel before. Well, this is one regional variation of the famous Schnitzel.
This recipe has been kindly shared by one of our Lovefoodies supporters, Cindy Reams. Cindy tells me when her and her husband were stationed out in Densborn, Germany some years ago, they became friends with a lovely German girl called Stephanie. It was Stephanie who taught Cindy how her family makes this Jagerschnitzel.
Unlike the more common schnitzel, Jagerschnitzel is traditionally coated in flour (and not breadcrumbs), pan-fried in butter and served with a mushroom or tomato gravy. Since Stephanie showed Cindy how to make this dish, it's been a family favourite, especially with her children, all these years.

Now Cindy's girls have grown up, they are also making it themselves!
For this recipe, the mushroom sauce was originally made from scratch, but Cindy simplified it to fit in with her family life. It's a very quick and simple recipe so please do enjoy! On a side note, you can also use this same recipe for chicken breast instead of pork. Simply do the same instructions below!
Jagerschnitzel goes great with pasta or our homemade spaetzle. Delicious!

Ingredients
The Schnitzel
4 x 1-inch thick pork loin roast slices (or chicken breast)
½ Cup Flour
2 eggs
Salt and pepper
oil and butter.
The Gravy
2 brown gravy mixes
1 ½ lbs fresh sliced mushrooms
2 Tablespoons butter
Instructions
1. Mix gravy mixes according to package directions. In a pan, brown the mushrooms in butter. Add the gravy and keep warm. You can also add some onion like you see in the photo below.
2. Slice the pork loin into 1" thick slices. Pound between plastic wrap to thin out meat.
3. Dip the pork slices in egg, then dip into flour (You can season the flour with salt and pepper if you wish).
4. Heat a skillet pan with a mixture of oil and butter. Approximately 2 tablespoons of each.
You may need more or less, depending on how big your schnitzels are.
When the pan is hot, add the pork and brown on both sides until cooked through.
You may have to do this in batches if you have a lot of pork. If so, pop the cooked pieces in the oven on a low setting to keep warm whilst you cook the remainder.
5. Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, spaetzle or whatever your family enjoys! Make our easy homemade recipe for spaetzle, to go with your schnitzel! It's so delicious!
