An Austrian meal for the entire family! Thin, breaded pork and savory potatoes! Watch me make it here! Servings: 2-4 Ingredients Instructions 1/3 cup (45 g) all-purpose flour Step 1 Wash potatoes then boil for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and can be easily pierced with a fork, but it is better to undercook than overcook! Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool slightly. 1 large egg Step 2 When potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, peel and cut them into thin slices (not thicker than 1/8 inch). Set aside. 1 tablespoon milk (or substitute water) Step 3 Heat butter in a pan with tall sides over medium heat, add diced onion and cook until translucent, 3-4 minutes. 3/4 cup plain dried breadcrumbs (fine) Step 4    Add apple cider vinegar, vegetable broth, and salt to the onions. 1 pound thin-cut pork cutlets/chops OR cut them into 1/2 inch thick Step 5     Bring the liquid to a boil and let it cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes. 5.5 tablespoons vegetable oil + vegetable oil for frying Step 6     Add sliced potatoes to vinegar broth. Mix to coat potatoes completely (carefully), then add oil and mix again (carefully). 10 medium potatoes Step 7     Cover pan with a lid and let rest for at least 30 minutes so the potatoes are able to absorb some of the dressing. 1 yellow onion, diced Step 8     While potatoes are resting, make the schnitzel. Set up three bowls for flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Put flour in a wide shallow bowl or on a plate. Lightly whisk egg and milk (or water) in another wide shallow bowl, just until combined. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Step 9     Thoroughly pound cutlets to 1/4"-1/8" thickness using a meat mallet. Use the flat side of your meat mallet, if it has one. Lightly season the meat evenly with salt on both sides. 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar Step 10     Dredge each cutlet in flour, then shake off excess. Dip in egg, turn to coat, letting excess egg drip back into the bowl before breading in breadcrumbs. Press lightly to adhere, then shake off excess. 3/4 cup vegetable broth Step 11     Once all cutlets are breaded, pour oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add breaded cutlets one by one if they are large or a few at a time if they are smaller. Sauté 3-4 min per side or until cooked through and the breading is golden brown. Adjust heat as necessary. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. 3/4 tablespoons spicy brown mustard Step 12 Before serving, stir the potato salad.

Jamaica's most popular meal. It is so delicious! You can even make this meal at home without a grill! Cuisine:  Jamaican Course:  Dinner Serves: 4 Prep Time: 20 min Total Time: 1 hour Ingredients Instructions 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs Step 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 2 green plantains Step 2 Combine wet and dry jerk seasoning in a large bowl. 1 cup Jasmin rice Step 3 Cover chicken thighs thoroughly in combined jerk seasoning. I highly recommend using gloves for this step because the jerk seasoning is spicy. If you get it on your hands then touch your face it can be painful. 3 green or spring onions Step 4 Spray glass baking dish  with cooking spray or use extra vegetable oil to grease pan and prevent sticking. Place chicken thighs in the greased glass baking dish. Try not to overlap them so they cook evenly throughout. 1 green scotch bonnet pepper Step 5 Once oven is preheated, bake chicken for 45 min - 1 hour or until the internal temperature is between 175 -185 degrees Fahrenheit. I used this thermometer  to check my chicken. 4 garlic cloves Step 6 While the chicken is cooking, wash and dry green onions, thyme, the scotch bonnet pepper, and the bay leaf. Separate whites and greens of the onions. Slice whites of the onions and chop greens into 2-inch sections. 6 allspice berries Step 7 Clean garlic. You can use this trick or just leave the cloves whole. 1 bay leaf Step 8 Wash rice in a glass bowl. Add water, swirl with your hand, and drain. Repeat until the water is clear after swirling with your hand. 2 sprigs of fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon of dried thyme) Step 9 Slice plantains. Chop off both ends and make a small slice in the skin from top to bottom. You should be able to peel the skin off the plantain. It might be a bit tricky. Once the skin is removed, cut the plantain in half and make 1/4 inch thick slices (longways). 3 teaspoons dry jerk seasoning  (I recommend getting the smaller size if you can find it at a grocery store, but this is the type of seasoning I used) Step 10 Add olive oil, onion greens, onion whites, and garlic to a pot. Cook on medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add in allspice berries, salt, bay leaf, thyme, and the scotch bonnet pepper (it should be whole). Stir lightly to combine. It is key that you do not pop the scotch bonnet pepper open (THE SEEDS ARE HOT HOT). Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the onions and garlic start to get soft. 140g wet jerk seasoning  (half the glass bottle) Step 11 Add coconut milk to the pot with spices. Once coconut milk is in, quickly fill up 2/3 of the can with water and add that to the pot as well. This will prevent the coconut milk from burning. At this time, you can also add the rice and beans (this is the best can opener  I've ever had by the way!). Gently mix ingredients. When the pot begins to bubble, turn it down to low heat and cover with a lid. Cook for about 20 minutes or until you see no more bubbling. 400ml coconut milk (1 can) Step 12 Heat a pan on high heat with vegetable oil (enough to cover the bottom for plantains). Fry plantains until they are golden brown on both sides. Add salt if desired. Plate and enjoy! 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or enough to fill the bottom of a frying pan) cooking spray or additional 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon salt If you make this dish, I want to see!
