Passover Mushroom Schnitzel Recipes

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the chicken breasts from the bone. Slice each breast in half lengthwise. Put them between pieces of plastic wrap and pound them with a mallet or a small skillet until they are 1/4-inch thick.
• Set up a breading station with three pie plates or shallow dishes. Put the flour in one and season it with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, the eggs beaten with 2 tablespoons of water in another, and the breadcrumbs in the third. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, then the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs. Set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken in 1 layer and cook until it is golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on brown paper and keep warm while you make the sauce.
• In another skillet over medium heat, add the butter. When it is melted, add mushrooms and season them with salt and pepper. Cook until they are browned, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds then add the stock and simmer for 4 minutes and reduce by one third. Add the Worcestershire sauce, turn the heat off, and let cool for a minute before stirring in the sour cream. Serve the Schnitzel with the sauce poured over the top, garnished with parsley.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Put the mushroom caps gill-side up on a baking sheet. Broil until they release their juices, about 7 minutes. Flip the mushrooms, brush the tops with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and broil until lightly browned and the juices have cooked off, 7 to 10 more minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the cabbage and onion. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, onion, caraway seeds and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the cabbage is crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons water and cook until reduced, 7 more minutes. Stir in the parsley; season with salt and pepper.
• While the cabbage cooks, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Press the mushrooms with paper towels to flatten and absorb any liquid. Coat in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Fry in batches until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve with the cabbage and applesauce.
