VIDEO RECIPE: Low Carb Wiener Schnitzel!

A while back I posted a picture of some low carb Wiener schnitzel (i.e., "Viennese cutlet" in English), along with a low carb equivalent of one of the traditional accompaniments of this dish: potato salad (with a soon-to-be-unveiled mystery vegetable used in place of potato).

Here's the picture again:

Schnitzel

Since the recipe (or the core of the recipe) is not something I came up with, though, I meant to post it. (Original recipes I'm saving for my forthcoming low carb cookbook[s].) I got busy, though, and that didn't happen at the time.

So here it is.

I'd been meaning to do Wiener schnitzel for a while, but it was Kent Altena's recipe that finally moved me to do it. Like any cook, I made a few modifications of my own. Instead of parmesan cheese as the inner lining, I used almond flour. And instead of deep frying the schnitzels, I baked them (not because I have a problem with deep frying–deep frying is no problem on a low carb, fat-burning diet–but just because I don't have a deep fryer!).

If you're interested in low carb cooking, I hope you'll check out this recipe, as well as Kent's other awesome low carb videos!
