Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium (3-oz) veal cutlets pounded to 0.5 cm (0.2-inch) thickness
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 medium eggs free-range
  • 1 tbsp psyllium powder

Breading mixture

  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp golden flaxseed
  • 1 tbsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Frying fat

  • 8 tbsp tallow alternatively use ghee
  • 2 whole bay leaves

Instructions
 

  • To beat meat thinly, place the cutlet between sheets of transparent plastic wrap. Use a heavy meat mallet and beat the meat until gets 0.5 cm thin.
  • Place sesame seeds, rosemary and golden flaxseed in a food processor. Pulse several times. Add finely grated lemon zest.
  • Set up 3 wide dishes. place the psyllium in one dish, the eggs with salt in the second dish (beat them with a fork), and ground seeds in the third dish.
  • Place the tallow (or ghee) in a deep frying pan and add bay leaves. Heat it over medium temperature. 
  • Dredge cutlets first in psyllium until they are completely dry. Dip them in egg mixture to coat. Then roll quickly in the ground seeds until coated. 
  • Fry the schnitzel for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Make sure the schnitzels t “swim” in lard or ghee. Use a smaller pan or add more lard in case the fat is not deep enough. 
  • Serve with a salad of your choice, lemon slices and I would recommend our Keto Tzatziki sauce, to give it even more of a Greek twist. 

Notes

Sesame seeds, flaxseeds and psyllium are rich in fibre, therefore have in mind that net carbs in this portion are not 12g but 2g.
