German Schnitzel with Lemon Butter Sauce
Golden, crispy pork cutlets meet a bright, velvety lemon butter sauce in this classic German schnitzel—each bite delivers a satisfying crunch that gives way to tender, juicy meat. The tangy citrus notes of the sauce cut through the richness of the fried coating, while fresh parsley adds a final touch of color and freshness. Worth the effort for its restaurant-worthy results, this dish brings the warmth of a German beer hall straight to your table with minimal fuss.
