I love this. I spent three years in Germany and I love schnitzel. The sauce is outstanding. I made this according to the recipe, but have a hard time finding pork cutlets. I have a butcher that has pre-breaded pork cutlets or veal cutlets (1/3 veal, 2/3rd pork). It saves a ton of time and they work great with the cooking method and the sauce, but require a little extra cooking time (about 4-5 minutes per side). Absolutely a keeper recipe, thanks!

It was OK, but I wouldn't make it again. The sauce was nothing special, maybe it needed more dill or other flavor. It was easy to make so you might like it.

I made this for dinner tonight to accompany spaetzel. My family (and I of course) devoured it, scraping every last lick of the sauce off the plate. I did change up the recipe a bit. I used very thin cut turkey cutlets instead of pork (simply because it's all I had), substituted heavy cream for sour cream (due to DH's food aversion) and omitted the dill (another of DH's aversions). The "turkey" schnitzel turned out moist, tender, crispy on the outside and seasoned just right. And the sauce--oh the decadent, velvety sauce--was wonderful over the schnitzel as well as the spaetzel. It was truly a rich and flavorful German Sunday dinner. Thanks for sharing this recipe! Yum!
