- 1 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard

Instructions
The Coleslaw
- Combine everything but the coleslaw in a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously. Place the coleslaw mix in a medium mixing bowl, pour over the dressing, cover with plastic wrap and shake to coat. Refrigerate at least an hour.
The Sauce
- Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan. Add the onions and saute til translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the flour to create a roux
- Add the chicken stock, lemon juice and dill. Continue whisking till combined.
- Simmer on medium low for 10 minutes, remove from heat and whisk in the sour cream. Cover and keep warm on low, stirring occasionally while you make the schnitzel.
The Schnitzel
- Fill a 10" skillet with the oil and heat on medium high. The oil should be hot, but not smoking, or close to smoking.
- Place a pork slice between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and hammer to 1/8" thin with the smooth side of a mallet. Repeat for all slices.
- Combine the eggs and milk in a shallow bowl and whisk with a fork. Add the flour to another shallow bowl, and the breadcrumbs to another.
- Dredge a piece of pork through the egg wash on both sides, then through the flour, then the egg wash again and finally the breadcrumbs.
- Gently lay the breaded pork into the oil and fry til golden brown- about 1-2 minutes per side. Flip and repeat. Drain and remove to a plate. Repeat with the rest of the pork.
