There is a terrible ad on tv at the moment about how ‘you used to only be able to get a good parmie at the pub’ blah blah blah but now you can get a frozen one from the supermarket etc (which I’m sure Italian grandmothers everywhere are calling to complain about).
The reason it is a pub staple is that its dead simple.
1 Fry’s veg “Chicken” Schnitzel per person
Can of crushed tomatoes or pasta sauce
cheese slices
Oven preheated to 200 celsius.
Place frozen schnitzels on oven tray.
Just cover top of schnitzel with crushed tomatoes or pasta sauce (don’t let them swim in it or you won’t get any crunchy schnitzel bits which would be a tragedy)
Layer cheese slices on top.
Bake til cheese is golden and bubbly.
Serve on bed of rocket/baby spinach with steamed peas and steamed baby potatoes. Whack on some cracked pepper & a some torn parsley or basil if you’ve got some hanging around your kitchen.
(If you were to make this with real chicken, in the interest of not getting salmonella I would suggest pan frying the schnitzels first…or baking for longer…or whatever people do to cook chicken properly. Please refer to an omnivore for advice.)
