Pork Schnitzel with Sauteed Cabbage and Brussels Sprouts

Pork Schnitzel with Sauteed Cabbage and Brussels Sprouts
Serve 6

This is ridiculously easy to make.

24 ounces boneless pork chops (thin-sliced if possible)
1 egg white
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Seasoning of your choice (I used 1/2 teaspoon of Penzy's Krakow Nights, one of the rare salted seasoning blends that I use.)

1. Separate egg, placing white in a bowl large enough to hold a pork chop.
2. Mix seasoning with panko in a shallow dish.
3. Dip pork chops in egg white.  Dredge through seasoned crumbs.
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high.  Place chops in skillet, turning when then begin to turn golden brown (4-5 minutes).
5. Serve on the sauteed cabbage and Brussels sprouts. (I topped mine with a teaspoon of sweet and coarse German mustard.)

Sauteed Cabbage and Brussels Sprouts
Serves 6

1 tablespoon bacon grease (the fat from 3-4 slices)  Other oil can be substituted if you prefer.
1 cup onion, diced
3 cups shredded cabbage (I used red. You can use green if preferred.)
3 cups shredded Brussels sprouts
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 ounces beer (optional, but I used it.)

1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat.  Add bacon grease.
2. When melted, add onions.
3. Saute until they just begin to get translucent (3-4 minutes).
4. Add cabbage and Brussels sprouts.  Toss together.
5. Mix beer, vinegar and sugar together in a bowl until sugar dissolves. Add to cabbage/Brussels sprouts.
6. Continue to cook, tossing occasionally. The goal is to heat them without frying them.
7. Optional:  top each serving with crumbled bacon. I didn't do that because my son ate the bacon while I was out of the kitchen at one point.
