Listen, it's easy. I wish I knew how easy it was when I was a young bachelor.

Get some of these. Thin cut pork loins, not expensive at all.

Put them on some parchment paper, saran wrap, whatever, and pound them flat with any heavy object, I use the base of my mortar.

Set up three dredging stations, you can just use plates if you're not well equipped. In one you want regular flour. In a second you want a couple of eggs well beaten, maybe a splash of milk or water to thin it out a bit. And in the third I recommend panko bread crumbs.

Take the meat, dredge it in flour until it's completely covered. Put it in the egg until it's covered, and then finish in the bread crumbs. If you've never breaded anything before, it will be a bit messy at first. You'll get good with practice though.

That's it for the prep. Take a large frying pan, add cooking oil until it's maybe half an inch deep. It doesn't take a lot. It doesn't even need to cover the top of the schnitzel. Turn it up to medium/high and wait until it gets hot. You should see it rippling. When you add the schnitzel it should bubble around the edges very quickly. If you've never done it, you might just use the first piece as a test piece to make sure it's hot enough.

Each piece needs a couple minutes on each side. Don't worry about undercooking it, it's so thin that's very hard to do. Look for a nice golden brown. Flip it. Same on the other side.

Finish with some lemon juice and a nice heavy pinch of salt. Enjoy. That shit's fit for a last meal.
