Schnitzel

/by

A schnitzel is a thin slice of flesh from an animal, which is fried in oil before eating. It may also be breaded before cooking, meaning it is covered with a binding agent such as a bird’s egg and then dipped in dried breadcrumbs, giving an overall golden appearance to the dish before serving. Calves, lambs, sheep, cows, chickens, turkeys and pigs have all been served up as schnitzel, and plant products can be as well.
