It features juicy pork tenderloin sliced into thin strips and seared to perfection. A medley of mushrooms, including cremini and shiitake, adds a symphony of flavors. The crowning glory is a velvety sauce made from white wine, heavy cream, and a touch of Dijon mustard.

For a taste of the Orient, try the Geschnetzeltes with Asian Mushrooms. This recipe incorporates a variety of Asian mushrooms like shiitake, oyster, and enoki, each contributing its unique texture and flavor. A splash of soy sauce and a hint of ginger add an umami-rich dimension, while a touch of sesame oil lends a nutty aroma.

Last but not least, the Geschnetzeltes with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Spinach offers a vibrant twist on the classic.

GESCHNETZELTES (PORK AND MUSHROOMS)



Geschnetzeltes (Pork and Mushrooms) image

I first had this at a hotel in Interlaken, Switzerland. You can buy the mix for it at a German grocery store, but this is an easy way to make it from scratch. It's best served over rösti, a hash brown pancake, but can also be good over rice or noodles.

ZURCHER GESCHNETZELTES (ZURICH-STYLE VEAL STRIPS IN CREAM SAUCE)



Zurcher Geschnetzeltes (Zurich-Style Veal Strips in Cream Sauce) image

This is a mouthwatering Swiss specialty dish originating in the town of Zurich, Switzerland. Typically served with Rosti (Swiss hashbrowns), but equally good with mashed potatoes, spaetzle, or dumplings. There are many versions of Geschnetzeltes that can be found throughout the region in restaurants and in home kitchens, alike. I particularly like this version with lemon and parsley.

Categories     Veal

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs veal cutlets, sliced into 1/2 in strips
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
7 ounces cremini mushrooms, thickly sliced
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream
paprika (optional)
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (to serve)

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the flour over the veal strips, and coat well.
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, melt half of the butter and half of the oil and as soon as the butter foams, immediately add the meat and quickly brown on all sides. Set aside meat to a dish and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Add remaining butter and oil to pan and sauté the onion and garlic for a couple of minutes. Now stir in the mushrooms and lemon zest and cook until mushrooms begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the wine to deglaze the bottom of the pan, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Stir in the veal (and juices!) and cook over low heat for another 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the cream and season to taste with paprika, salt and pepper. Let bubble for a few minutes until hot, then stir in the lemon juice and serve sprinkled with fresh snipped parsley.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: As with any cooking, having all your ingredients prepped and measured before you start cooking will make the process much smoother and less stressful.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your Geschnetzeltes will be. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality meat and mushrooms.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the pork, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the meat from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to steam than sear.
  • Cook the pork in batches: If you have a lot of pork to cook, cook it in batches. This will help to ensure that the meat is cooked evenly.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The white wine you use in the sauce should be of good quality. A dry white wine, such as a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, will work well.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until it is slightly thickened, but be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become too thick and gloppy.
  • Serve immediately: Geschnetzeltes is best served immediately, while the meat is still hot and juicy. It can be served over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Geschnetzeltes pork and mushrooms is a classic Swiss dish that is both delicious and easy to make. With its tender pork, flavorful mushrooms, and creamy sauce, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give Geschnetzeltes a try.
