Notes

These recipes are not just for schnitzels. These also work perfectly on pork chops, lamb cutlets, fish fillets, chicken tenders, burgers, etc., or even bakes such as macaroni and cheese, smashed potatoes, etc.

Fresh or dried breadcrumbs can be used. We recommend using panko breadcrumbs for a crispier texture.

For the Mexican crumbing, you can use a standard red or green chilli instead of jalapeños.
