Dealing with little bit of a Sinus infection, not a bad one but just enough to be annoying! It was 52 degrees out this morning, cool for the middle of July. Only a high of 73 but no humidity either! Had to stop by Kroger for some Milk and Bread and then the Bank. From there went to Costco for some Vitamins, Bulk Items, and some cases of canned Vegetables and Tuna. Purchased quite a few, I'm going to drop them off at our Church. Our Church, along with other local Churches provide free meals and supplies who need them. So they can never have too much, I'm glad I have a little extra money to help out when I can. Dinner tonight it’s Panko Crusted Cubed Pork Steak w/ Spaetzle and Green Beans
I grabbed a Cubed Pork Steak out of the freezer and let it thaw overnight in the fridge. Used the big three out to bread it with; Flour, Egg Beater’s, and Panko Bread Crumbs. I seasoned the Steak with Sea Salt and Black Ground Pepper. Next I seasoned the Flour with Hungarian Paprika and rolled the Cube Pork in that and shook off the excess. Then I dipped it in the Egg Beater’s shaking off the excess and then pressed both sides in the Shake and Bake Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs, making sure both sides was well covered. I heated up a medium size skillet, that I had drizzled with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, on medium high heat. Added my Cubed Pork and fried both sides about 4 minutes, till each side was golden brown. The Cubed Pork Steak came out delicious! Moist and very tender with a good flavor from the Paprika. As you can tell in the picture, the Steak was huge so I cut in half and I’ll have the other half for Breakfast in the morning. I like the Shake and Bake Seasoned Panko, a lot fewer calories than most. I don't care for any of Kroger's Beef but their Pork is hard to beat!
For one side dish to go with my Cubed Pork I prepared some Spaetzle. Which is a German Potato Dumpling. At the end of the post I left a little history of Spaetzle and product info. I boiled it in hot water for about 25 minutes and seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper, Rubbed Sage, and a pat of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter. Very tasty and goes very well with Veal or Pork. We also had some fresh Green Beans we had picked up at Jungle Jim's Market the other day. Love those Green Beans! The Spaetzle and Green Beans are a perfect pairing! I could have made a meal just out of these 2 items. Also had a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt
Spaetzle
Spaetzle [SHPEHT-sluh; SHPEHT-sehl; SHPEHT-slee] Literally translated from German as “little sparrow,” spaetzle is a dish of tiny noodles or dumplings made with flour, eggs, water or milk, salt and sometimes nutmeg. The spaetzle dough can be firm enough to be rolled and cut into slivers or soft enough to be forced through a sieve, colander or spaetzle-maker with large holes. The small pieces of dough are usually boiled (poached) before being tossed with butter or added to soups or other dishes. In Germany, spaetzle is served as a side dish much like potatoes or rice, and is often accompanied by a sauce or gravy. The cooked spaetzle can also be pan-fried with a little butter and onions (usually a good left-over idea).
