Slovak schnitzel, a thin pork cutlet breaded and fried in butter, served with potato salad or cucumber salad and lemon, the canonical Slovak Sunday lunch.
Rezen is the Slovak adaptation of the Austrian Wiener Schnitzel, codified during the Habsburg era and made with pork rather than veal in Slovak households. The dish anchors the Slovak Sunday lunch table, served with potato salad on Christmas Eve and with cucumber salad through summer. The breading uses the same flour-egg-breadcrumb sequence as the Viennese original, the meat the only divergence.
