Ingredients
Instructions
- Coat the liverwurst pieces with flour.
- Dip the floured liverwurst into the beaten egg.
- Then coat the liverwurst with bread crumbs.
- Heat margarine and oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the coated liverwurst until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using whole wheat flour and panko bread crumbs for extra crunch. If liverwurst is too rich for your taste, you can substitute it with chicken liver pâté. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy exterior without absorbing too much oil. Serve with a squeeze of lemon for a refreshing contrast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the liverwurst schnitzel with a side of mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with sauerkraut or pickles for added tanginess. For a more substantial dish, consider serving it alongside Vienna Boiled Beef(Weiner Tafelspitz) for a hearty feast that showcases rich flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover liverwurst schnitzel in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through, ensuring the coating remains crispy. Avoid microwaving as it may make the schnitzel soggy.
