Goran Kosanovic for The Washington PostPretzel-Crusted Schnitzel With Caraway Onion Noodles By Bonnie S. Benwick, The Washington Post I appreciate any winter dish that offers big flavors in a relatively spare profile, and this one fits the bill. A schnitzel is characterized by thin meat, a crunchy coating and pan-frying. In this riff, you’ll opt out of the last and bake instead — a choice that eliminates some fat but mostly helps its mustard-based, herby pretzel exterior stay in place.
