How to Make The Original Schnitzelwich
- **Make the Horseradish Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons sour cream and 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- **Caramelize the Onions:** Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 thinly sliced large yellow onions and sauté until softened and starting to brown, stirring often (about 8 minutes). Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until onions are very soft and deep golden brown, stirring frequently (about 20 minutes). Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use. This step can be done a day ahead.
- **Prepare the Pork:** Place pork chops between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- **Bread the Pork:** Place flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third. Dredge each pork chop in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko.
- **Cook the Pork:** Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded pork chops and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, adding more oil if needed. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- **Assemble the Schnitzelwiches:** Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of ajvar on the bottom of each roll. Top with 2 tablespoons of caramelized onions, then place a pork chop on top. Add lettuce leaves.
- **Finish and Serve:** Spread 1 rounded tablespoon of horseradish sauce onto the cut side of each roll top. Place the roll tops on the sandwiches and serve immediately. Enjoy your Portland-style Schnitzelwich!
