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

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:
- To ensure tender and flavorful veal, choose high-quality veal cutlets that are evenly thick. If the cutlets are not of uniform thickness, pound them gently with a meat mallet to achieve an even thickness.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of butter and olive oil to sear the veal cutlets. The butter will add a nutty flavor, while the olive oil will help prevent the butter from burning.
- Sear the veal cutlets over medium-high heat to create a nice crust and seal in the juices. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will prevent the cutlets from searing properly.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the veal cutlets are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook the cutlets to an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). For medium, cook the cutlets to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- While the veal cutlets are cooking, sauté the mushrooms in butter until they are tender and slightly browned. Season the mushrooms with salt, pepper, and thyme for extra flavor.
- To make the sauce, deglaze the pan with white wine and beef broth. Reduce the liquid by half, then stir in the cream and Dijon mustard. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it thicken slightly.
- Serve the veal cutlets with the mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes or egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
Conclusion:
This classic Swiss-style veal and mushrooms dish is a delicious and elegant main course that is perfect for a special occasion. The tender veal cutlets, flavorful mushrooms, and creamy sauce come together to create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. With a little planning and effort, you can easily prepare this dish at home and enjoy a taste of Switzerland in your own kitchen.
