To finish the successful meal, enjoy an ice sorbet and a glass of champagne.

Looking for something with just a little more punch or "specialness". Came across this, made it, & declared success! Note - I used pork loin, sliced 1/2 inch thick, & then pounded, as with any escalope.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

4 large veal escalopes, pounded thin
1 lemon, juice of
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup dry white wine
8 ounces button mushrooms, wiped clean & sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (spring onions) or 2 tablespoons scallions (spring onions)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, grated
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

In a shallow dish place the escalopes and pour over the lemon juice. Set aside and marinate for 30 minutes, basting occasionally. Remove the veal from the marinade and dry them on paper towels. Discard the lemon juice.
Season flour with salt, pepper & paprika. Place the flour on a plate and, one by one, dip the escalopes in it, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
In a large frying pan, melt 3 T of the butter over moderate heat. When the foam subsides, place the escalopes in the pan. Fry them for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are lightly and evenly browned.
Pour in the white wine and bring to the boil. Cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring constantly. With tongs or a slotted spoon remove the escalopes from the pan and place them on a warmed serving dish.
Set the dish aside and keep warm while you make the sauce.
Add the remaining butter to the pan and melt it over moderate heat.
When the foam subsides, add the mushrooms, chives or scallions, salt, pepper and nutmeg to the pan and stir well to mix. Cook the mixture for 3 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream.
Pour the sauce over the escalopes and serve at once.
Suggested accompaniments: creamed potatoes, petite peas, well-chilled bottle of Rudesheimer wine.

Tips:

For a crispy schnitzel, make sure the oil is hot enough before frying. The ideal temperature for frying is between 350°F and 375°F (175°C to 190°C).
Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the schnitzel thin. This will help it cook evenly and become crispy.
To prevent the schnitzel from sticking to the pan, make sure it is coated evenly in flour.
Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the schnitzel. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the schnitzel will not cook evenly.
Serve the schnitzel immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.

With its crispy schnitzel, creamy mushroom sauce, and fluffy spaetzle, it is a hearty and satisfying meal.
