Method

For the Dressing

In a small bowl combine all ingredients and season to taste.

Crumb and Cook the Schnitzel

Mix all crumb coat ingredients together in a large bowl.

Mix together salt, pepper, onion powder and flour, in a large bowl.

Whisk together eggs and line up three bowls on your bench: one with flour mix, one with egg and one with seeded crumb. Coat each schnitzel with the flour mix, then the egg and finally the seeded crumb mixture, try to avoid getting egg mix into the crumb as it will go lumpy and not coat evenly.

It can be pan fried over a medium to high heat for around 1½ minutes on each side.

Alternatively: oven baked at 200⁰C for around 15 minutes until golden brown, or deep fry for 1½ minutes.

Dill and Avocado Slaw

Combine all of the slaw ingredients in a large bowl and gently toss to combine. Drizzle over the dressing and toss again.

To Serve

Serve the beef schnitzel with slaw and extra dill dressing on the side.
