A spicy spin on a classic.
We make schnitzels at least once a month! … now maybe we’ll be doing it more.
The jerk flavours here are so welcoming! There a few extra steps here, but well worth it. Let everyone in your family have a turn at the mallet!

Big Cove Foods
1-2 lbs pork loin
1/2 cup flour
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
4 tbsp Big Cove Foods Hot Jerk Spice Blend, divided
salt + pepper
neutral oil, grapeseed, canola
1 sprig of thyme
1 sprig of rosemary
lemon wedges for serving
1 cup sour cream
Zest of 1 lemon
2 oz Lemon Juice
1 tbsp pepper
1 jalapeno, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tsp olive oil
To make the sauce, just mix ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside for serving.
Cut the pork width wise into 1 inch slices. Using a mallet, pound each pork slice down to 1/4″ thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Lay out 3 large shallow bowls. Fill one bowl with flour and season it with 1 tbsp Hot Jerk spice blend. Fill the second one with the eggs and whip with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fill the third with the panko bread crumbs and season with the remaining 3 tbsp of Hot Jerk spice blend.
Working with one piece at a time, coat the pork slice in the flour, shaking off any extra. Then dip it in the egg bowl, letting the extra drip off. Lastly, press it firmly in the bowl with the panko, evenly coating both sides. Lay on a plate and set aside while you do the rest.
Heat the oven to warm (175 f) and place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and put it in the oven.
Place a large frying pan on medium high heat with a generous splash of oil to coat the bottom of the pan, about 1/4 cup. Heat to a shimmer and add the herb sprigs until aromatic, 10-20 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside for a second use.
Depending on the size of your pan, work with 1-2 pieces at a time being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Lay the pork down in the oil and cook until browned, then flip. The pork will cook quickly so you’re mainly looking for a nice crust. Make sure the internal temperature of the pork is 160 F. Remove and place on a paper towel just to blot excess oil and finally, lay on the baking sheet in the oven to keep warm as you work through the rest. If the oil starts to get low, add some more and use the herbs again to season the oil.
Serve with a lemon wedge.
We used this combo to try out blends new to us and we've enjoyed every one so far!
My cousin and her husband came to visit me in Dominica West Indies. They brought along Egyptian summer and hot jerk spices from.Big Cove Foods!!! The taste sensation just blew my mind. I made a stirfry of chicken with vegetables using the Egyptian summer. The flavor was sensational. I used the hot jerk on some locally caught fresh mahi-mahi. It was absolutely extraordinary. I have a friend who’s coming to visit me in August and I’m hoping that she will be able to bring me a few of the others as well. I am hooked line and sinker. All the best with your business. I highly recommend these spices.. 💕
These little boxes of spice varieties are great! I’m taking them to Ontario this week and will use them as the perfect little ‘hostess gifts’ I use Big Cove spices all the time. ‘Mary had a’ is my favourite. I use it on everything! (I don’t even like lamb so I definitely don’t just use it for that, lol!)
I repurchased this tasty blend when it was available again. I would say it's a medium heat so it's a nice option to have. We also enjoy the Ghost Taco blend but use it sparingly for that extra kick!
Travelled to Cape Breton ( Baddeck, where I was born and raised ) a couple of years ago and found these amazing spices. Been ordering ever since. Shipping to Toronto covered for an order big enough ( which we do ). Pick it up at the One of a Kind Show when we can. Use on meats and roasted veggies.
Sent an assortment to Yellowknife for a birthday gift. Getting happy reports back. I knew I would.
We missed this blend. It’s been a staple in our house for a number of years. Use it in stirfys and on pork.
Purchased at the OOAK show in TO. Love this blend and made the chicken/rice dish on the site. Making it on repeat!
My second time purchasing Ghost Taco and it’s unreal. Perfect amount of spice and no fillers like starch that a lot of other blends have. Great on chicken and beef.
On top of that my package got stuck with the Canada Post Strike and when they learned I was still waiting they sent me a brand new package through a different shipper. Amazing customer service guys, thanks!
What I love about these spices is that they may come individually packaged, but I still turn on a bit more wild, by mixing one package with another. Have you tried Taco Enhancer with Red Rub? Amazing
Egyptian Summer spice blend
Amazing! I put this on everything. It brings everything to the next level.
I love the ability to try so many flavours. Nicely packaged and reseal flawlessly so they keep the freshness.
This Taco Duo is amazing. Great taste.
I use it in hamburgers, meatloaf, Chicken. I definitely will be ordering again
I will be trying them thod weekend
