To make a pork schnitzel, you need a boneless and thin cut of meat. I used regular pork cutlets you can buy in the meat department; they are too thick, so I cut them in half horizontally. If the meat is too tick, there is a chance the meat won’t cook properly inside before the crust is golden crisp.
