Kotlet Schabowy is Poland’s beloved breaded pork cutlet — a golden, craggy crust giving way to a thin, juicy slice of pork loin. Pounded thin, breaded in the classic flour-egg-breadcrumb rhythm, and fried in sizzling fat, it’s comfort food with a satisfying crunch.
Served with mashed potatoes and a heap of sauerkraut or a cucumber salad, it’s the Polish answer to Sunday lunch. A squeeze of lemon over the hot cutlet is the traditional finishing touch — bright, simple, and perfect.
