Ingredients
- 4 cloves garlic
- 5 onions
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 yellow bell peppers
- 2 red chili peppers
- 5 stalks celery
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 can corn (285 g)
- 1 can kidney beans (250 g)
- 250 ml vegetable broth or stock
- 750 g tomato ketchup
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Chili powder
- 12 pork schnitzels (about 120 g each)
- 200 g grated Edam cheese
- 1 bunch parsley
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all the vegetables. Peel the garlic cloves and onions. Slice the onions into thin rings or strips and finely chop the garlic. Cut the red and yellow bell peppers in half, remove the stems, seeds, and white membranes, then wash them thoroughly and cut them into thin strips. Remove the stems from the red chili peppers, halve them, remove the seeds, wash, and finely dice the chili. Clean the celery stalks by pulling off any tough outer strings, wash thoroughly, and slice into thin pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, deep pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sliced onions to the pan and sauté gently until the onions become translucent and aromatic, stirring often to avoid burning.
- Add the sliced bell peppers, diced chili, and sliced celery to the pan. Stir well to combine, then add the drained corn and kidney beans. Pour in the vegetable broth or stock and the tomato ketchup. Season the mixture generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and chili powder to taste. Stir everything thoroughly to ensure that the vegetables are evenly coated and the seasonings are distributed.
- Take a large roasting dish or ovenproof casserole. Arrange the pork schnitzels in a single or slightly overlapping layer at the bottom of the dish. Spoon the prepared vegetable mixture evenly over the schnitzels, making sure all the meat is well covered. Sprinkle the grated Edam cheese evenly over the top of the vegetable layer.
- Cover the dish and let the assembled schnitzel pan rest in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the schnitzels to absorb some of the sauce.
- When ready to cook, preheat your oven. For conventional top and bottom heat, preheat to 180°C (356°F). For convection or fan-assisted ovens, set to 160°C (320°F), no preheating necessary. Place the roasting dish on the middle rack of the oven.
- Bake the schnitzel pan uncovered for about 90 minutes. During baking, the schnitzels will cook through and become tender, the vegetables will soften, and the cheese will melt to create a golden, bubbling topping. If the top becomes too dark before the time is up, cover loosely with foil.
- While the schnitzel pan is baking, wash the parsley thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel. Pluck the leaves from the stems and finely chop them.
- After baking, remove the schnitzel pan from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Just before serving, sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley generously over the top for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve the Mexikanische Schnitzelpfanne straight from the dish, making sure each portion includes plenty of sauce, vegetables, and melted cheese. Enjoy hot, accompanied by rice, crusty bread, or a fresh salad if desired.
Notes
For extra flavor and heat, adjust the amount of chili powder and fresh chili peppers to your taste. If you prefer a milder dish, use less chili or substitute with a milder pepper. The schnitzel pan can be prepared ahead of time (up to the resting stage) and baked just before serving, making it ideal for gatherings or family meals. You can also substitute the pork schnitzels with turkey or chicken schnitzels if desired. Leftovers reheat well and can be enjoyed the next day.
