Ingredients

  • 2 pcs. Veal Schnitzel Cut from veal knuckle
  • Potato Boiled potatoes
  • 1 Egg
  • 6 gram Salt
  • 2 gram Pepper
  • 75 gram Wheat Flour
  • 100 gram Grate
  • 200 gram Butter
  • 28 gram Oil
  • Lemon
  • Capers
  • 150 gram Peas

Instructions

Fried potatoes

  • The best you can do is plan ahead a bit, so boil too many potatoes for your meal the day before and use the leftovers for your fried potatoes the next day. If you don't have any pre-cooled, set aside an extra hour for this dish as the potatoes first need to boil for 20 minutes and then cool down.
  • Cut your cooled, cold potatoes into smaller pieces and fry them in 25-50 grams of butter until golden. This takes about half an hour.

Peas

  • Put the frozen peas directly from the freezer into a pot.
  • Add cold water and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling, the peas only need one minute.
  • Remove the pot from the heat, then pour a large glass of cold water over the peas and cover again.
  • Let them steep for 2-3 minutes and serve immediately.

Wienerschnitzel

  • Pound the veal cutlets flat. Have your butcher do this for you if you shop with one.
  • Heat a pan well with 2 tbsp. oil. When the pan is hot, add 150 grams of butter (we used the excess butter for the sauce).
  • Whisk the egg on a flat plate, mix flour, salt, and pepper on another plate, and put breadcrumbs on a third plate.
  • First, dip the veal cutlets in flour, then in egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs.
  • Place the veal cutlets in a very hot pan and fry them for one and a half minutes on each side.
  • When done frying on the first side, pour a little of the hot butter from the pan over them.
  • Now, simply plate your schnitzel with a lemon wedge and capers on top.
