Yield: 9 (1/9th of a 9" cake pan)
Source: Cooking Light Website
CL Comments: Schnitzel, German for "cutlet," provides the base for a hearty winter meal.
Amy's Comments: The pork was nothing special (after the fact I wished I had squirted the lemon on top as recommended!) but the
noodles/cabbage combo was GREAT! If you like pork & sauerkraut, you'll like this. I think the key was getting the cabbage to the
brown stage. Before that it just smelled "eh". Solid, VERY filling, comfort food-ish would make again for sure!
INGREDIENTS:
4 ounces medium egg noodles
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
6 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1/3 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 large egg whites, lightly beaten
3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
Cooking spray
Lemon wedges (optional)
Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cook noodles according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
Drain. Combine noodles and sour cream in a large bowl, tossing well
to coat.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add
cabbage, onion, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper to
pan; cook 6 minutes or until cabbage is wilted, stirring
occasionally. Add broth; cook 6 minutes or until cabbage is lightly
browned. Stir cabbage mixture into noodle mixture. Wipe pan clean
with a paper towel.
- Cut pork crosswise into 12 (1-inch-thick) pieces. Place each piece
between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch
thickness using a meat mallet or small heavy skillet. Sprinkle pork
evenly with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon
pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Place egg whites in a shallow
dish. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Dredge 1 pork cutlet in
flour. Dip in egg whites; dredge in breadcrumbs. Repeat with
remaining pork, flour, egg whites, and breadcrumbs.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in large nonstick skillet coated with cooking
spray over medium heat; add 4 pieces pork to pan. Cook 3 minutes on
each side or until pork is lightly browned and done. Remove pork from
pan. Repeat procedure twice with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and pork.
Serve with cabbage mixture, lemon wedges, and parsley, if desired.
