Veal Cutlets With Fried Lemon Slices Wiener Schnitzel Food

WIENER SCHNITZEL (VEAL)

Steps:

• Cover work surface with a sheet of waxed paper.
• Arrange cutlets with a few inches between them on paper.
• Over the cutlets, top with a second sheet of waxed paper.
• Pound cutlets out to 1/4-inch thickness using the bottom of a small heavy skillet or a rubber mallet.
• If they are already 1/4 inch, then you don't have to pound them.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Set veal aside and set up 3 disposable pie tins or wide bowls and a plate in a row.
• Place flour in 1 tin and season with salt and pepper.
• In the 2nd tin place the beaten egg with a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper.
• In the 3rd tin pour out about 1 cup of cracker meal or crushed corn flakes.
• I use crushed corn flakes that are sold in a box in the supermarket already crushed.
• Dredge the veal completely in flour.
• Then coat the veal evenly with egg on both sides.
• Gently press veal into the cracker meal or crushed corn flakes and rest the coated cutlets on the plate.
• Add a drizzle of oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
• When the butter foams, add veal and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown all over.
• Remove to a warm plate and sprinkle a little nutmeg over the hot schnitzels.
• Garnish with the lemon wedges, as the lemon wedges are to be squeezed over the schnitzels before eating.

WIENER SCHNITZEL WITH LEMON-LIME BROWN BUTTER, PAPRIKA AND FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Add the pretzels, challah and brioche to a food processor and pulse until very fine breadcrumbs form. Season the veal with salt and pepper. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Whisk together 2 of the eggs in a third bowl. Dip each cutlet in the flour, then the eggs and finally the breadcrumbs, making sure both sides are completely coated.
• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron pan and sear the veal, one or two at a time, until they begin to brown around the edges, around 2 minutes. Flip and add a generous tablespoon of butter per veal cutlet. When the butter begins to brown, add some of the caper berries, anchovies and parsley. Cook the meat until it's almost completely done and crispy on the outside. Remove the pan from the flame and sprinkle with the lime and lemon juice. This will stop the cooking of the meat.
• In a nonstick pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up and place one on top of each schnitzel. Sprinkle the paprika through a sieve on each before serving.

WIENER SCHNITZEL (BREADED VEAL CUTLETS)

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the bread into fine crumbs. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl or lipped plate.
• Put the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the milk, and season with salt, and pepper to taste.
• To bread the meat: Dredge a cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess; then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. While the butter is still foaming add the breaded cutlets and cook, swirling the skillet in a tight circle (this keeps the cutlets moving around the skillet), until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes for the first side. Turn the meat and cook 1 minute on the second side to crisp the breading. Transfer to a plate and cover very loosely with foil while you cook the other cutlet. Serve with the lemon wedges.
