Pretzels for dinner? Yes, indeed!
We understand that you may tend to think of Wiener schnitzel as dinner and pretzels as a snack, but we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the merging of the two. The pretzel crust lends this schnitzel a certain bite, a savory quality that serves the pork very well.
