Schnitzel is a dish that originated in Austria, but it is popular throughout Europe and beyond. It consists of a thin slice of meat (usually pork or veal) that is pounded thin, breaded, and fried. The result is a crispy and satisfying main course that is often served with various sauces, such as the sweet and tangy raisin-pineapple sauce in this recipe. This dish is perfect for a hearty dinner at home with friends and family.

Instructions

1.Fry the bacon pieces in a large skillet until crispy. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate.
2.Add the chopped onion to the bacon fat and cook until it is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3.Sprinkle 1/2 cup flour over the onion and stir to combine.
4.Add the raisins, pineapple chunks (with juice), and enough water and white wine to make 2 cups of liquid. Stir to combine.
5.Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes until it thickens and the raisins are plump.
6.While the sauce is simmering, bread the schnitzel according to your preferred method (flour, egg wash, breadcrumbs).
7.Fry the schnitzel in a skillet until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side.
8.Serve the schnitzel hot with the raisin-pineapple sauce drizzled over the top.
