Wiener Schnitzel Over Greens Recipes

WIENER SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• For the lemon sauce: Heat a nonstick pan over high heat, place the lemon halves in the pan cut-sides down and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
• Whisk together the honey, mustard and horseradish in a medium bowl, squeeze in the juice from the seared lemon and add the dill, mint and salt and pepper to taste. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
• For the potato salad: Cover the potatoes with cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and continue to cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and slightly crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Add the shallots to the pan and cook until soft. Add the vinegar and sugar and cook until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat, whisk in the mustard, add the potatoes and cornichon and gently mix until combined. Transfer to a platter and top with the crisp bacon.
• For the beet reduction: Bring the beet juice to a boil in a small nonreactive pan over high heat. Cook until thickened and reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 12 minutes. Add the honey and season with the salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
• For the wiener schnitzel: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Spread the breadcrumbs out on a baking sheet and bake until pale and dried, about 12 minutes.
• Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Set 2 baking racks on 2 baking sheets.
• Put the flour in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Put 3 of the eggs in another baking dish with a few tablespoons of water, whisk until smooth and season with salt and pepper. Put the breadcrumbs in a third baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
• Season the veal on both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge in the flour and tap off the excess. Dredge in the eggs, letting the excess run off. Dredge in the breadcrumbs and tap off the excess. Place on one of the baking racks.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook the veal, one cutlet at a time, until golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Place on the second baking rack and finish cooking in the oven for 5 minutes.
• Melt the butter over medium heat in a 12-inch straight-sided skillet. Crack the remaining 4 eggs into the pan, season the tops with salt and pepper and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are slightly firm, about 2 minutes. Gently flip and continue cooking until the other side is just slightly set, about 30 seconds.
• To serve: Divide the wiener schnitzel among large plates, drizzle with the lemon sauce, top each with a fried egg and drizzle with the beet reduction. Serve the potato salad on the side.

AUTHENTIC WIENER SCHNITZEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Place your veal cutlets on a large chopping board, place a thick plastic bag on top and pound into very thin cutlets. Start pounding from the center towards the edges of the cutlet. It should be really thin, about 2/16-3/16 of an inch (3-4mm).
• Prepare your dredging station: add flour to a large plate, beat an egg in a large rimmed plate (don't beat it very thoroughly), then add the breadcrumbs to a third large plate.
• Season your cutlets on both sides with salt, then dredge in flour, shake off excess flour, dip in egg (allow excess to drip off), then coat in breadcrumbs. Repeat this for all cutlets. Place on a large plate/tray.
• Heat the clarified butter in a large frying pan. You should have at least 1 inch (3 cm) of oil in your pan. The cutlet should be able to 'swim' freely in the fat. The clarified butter should be hot enough - you can check the temperature of the oil with a thermomether, it should be about 350°F (180°C) or you can just throw a couple of breadcrumbs into the oil - if they're foaming vigorously, it means the butter is hot enough.
• Place the Schnitzel in the pan, laying it away from your body. Cook the cutlet on both sides until golden brown in color (about 1-2 minutes per side, it should not take more than 5 minutes). Shake gently with the pan and move with the cutlet using kitchen tongs while you're frying it - it will give it its hallmark waved surface.
• Transfer the cutlets to a plate lined with kitchen towels to drain excess fat. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
• Serve with lemon wedges/slices and lingonberry jam. Drizzle some lemon juice over the Schnitzel.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 individual shallow dishes. Season cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shake of excess, dredge through egg, and last in bread crumbs.
• Heat the oil in large skillet, add butter, and heat until foam subsides. Add 1 Schnitzel at a time to pan, brown from both sides about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels and place in 250 degree F oven to keep warm. Repeat with other Schnitzel. Serve with lemon wedges.
• Fry eggs and top each cutlet with an egg. Top with 1or 2 anchovy fillets and sprinkle with capers, to taste.

Steps:

• One at a time, place veal pieces in heavy 1-quart plastic bag, and pound thin with meat pounder. Place veal on large platter, and lightly salt and pepper both sides.
• Put flour in shallow bowl wide enough to hold a piece of veal flat. Put eggs and cream in a similar bowl. Beat to blend. Put bread crumbs in a third similar bowl.
• Heat oven to 175 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment. Arrange bowls near stove, along with a platter covered with layers of paper towel and a small plate covered with layers of paper towel.
• Heat oil in an 11- to 12-inch skillet or sauteacute; pan, the deeper the better. When oil is quite hot, put parsley in strainer, put in oil, and fry 10 seconds. Remove parsley, draining well, and place on the small plate. Add butter to skillet, and adjust heat to medium.
• Put 1 slice veal in flour, cover well, then shake off excess. Dip in egg, turning to coat. Put in bread crumbs, coating well, then shake off excess. Put in skillet, and fry about one minute, gently moving pan in circular motion on the burner. Oil should be frothy. When breading looks bubbly and starts to brown, turn and cook another minute, then transfer to paper-towel-lined platter. Repeat with remaining veal, adjusting heat so crumb coating cooks gradually and evenly, without burning.
• Place the cooked, drained schnitzels on a baking sheet, and put in the oven until ready to serve, up to 15 minutes.
• Arrange veal on platter or individual plates. Garnish with lemon wedges and fried parsley, and serve with salad.

Steps:

• Place each veal cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap, and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick. Dip in flour to coat.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg and milk. Place bread crumbs on a plate. Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, then press in the bread crumbs to coat. Place coated cutlets on a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded cutlets until browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a serving platter, and pour the pan juices over them. Garnish with lemon slices.
