Best 5 Wienerschnitzel Recipes

WIENERSCHNITZEL

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.

WIENERSCHNITZEL (BREADED VEAL CUTLETS)

Steps:

• Place veal cutlets, one piece at a time, between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until thin, about 1/4 inch thick.
• Slice lemon in half and squeeze lemon juice over all four pieces of veal.
• Allow the veal to sit in lemon juice for 30 minutes.
• Allow excess lemon juice to drip off before breading the cutlets.
• Sprinkle a pinch of salt over each cutlet.
• Place flour in a large shallow plate.
• Beat eggs, water, and vegetable oil in a large shallow bowl. ~NOTE~ The vegetable oil helps to hold the breading on securely and to make the breading crisp.
• Place breadcrumbs in a large shallow plate.
• one at a time, dip salted cutlet into the flour and lightly cover each side with flour.
• Then dip the cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing the excess egg to drip off.
• Then dredge into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
• Place breaded cutlets on a baking sheet and low to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Heat shortening in a large heavy skillet.
• There should be enough oil in the pan for the cutlets to "swim".
• When the oil is hot, place one or two cutlets in the skillet at a time, being careful not to crowd the cutlets.
• Fry first side slowly until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes.
• Turn cutlets over with a spatula, being careful not to splatter hot oil.
• Fry on second side for about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.
• If you have more cutlets to fry, then place finished cutlets in a piece of foil and keep warm in the oven at 250°F while you continue to fry up the rest of the cutlets.

SCHWEINESCHNITZEL OR WIENERSCHNITZEL (GERMAN PORK OR VEAL CUTLETS)

Steps:

• Cooked egg noodles, spaetzle/dumplings or boiled potatoes, for serving (see Cook's Note)
• Using a mallet and slow, even strokes down and away or towards the body, pound meat to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick. (Parchment paper or plastic wrap can help control the strokes and guard the meat, optional.)
• Season the thin cutlets lightly with salt, pepper and white pepper and granulated onion or rub in freshly grated onion.
• Set up a breading station in 3 shallow metal pans or dishes: Flour seasoned with a little salt; eggs and milk whisked together with Dijon mustard; breadcrumbs seasoned with a little salt, freshly grated nutmeg, lemon zest.
• Coat meat in flour, shake off excess, coat in egg, drain excess, then press and evenly coat in breadcrumbs.
• Place a large, wide skillet over medium to medium-high heat on the stovetop and place a baking sheet lined with a wire rack alongside it for transferring cooked cutlets. Add about 3 tablespoons of oil, 3 turns of the pan, enough to coat to skillet, and when it ripples and is hot, add the cutlets.
• Cook the cutlets in 1 or 2 batches to avoid crowding pan, turning once, until deeply golden, 4 to 5 minutes turning once, in 1 or 2 batches to avoid crowding pan. RRemove to a wire rack-lined baking sheet.
• Serve schnitzel with lemon wedges, capers, dill and Cucumber Salad or cornichons, egg noodles, spaetzle or boiled or steamed potatoes with butter, parsley and chives.
• Whisk up dressing and toss with cucumbers and dill.

WIENERSCHNITZEL CHILI (AS CLOSE AS YOU WILL FIND)

Steps:

• Brown ground beef and ground pork in a large saucepan over medium heat, ensure that the meat is well crumbled. (I utilize a potato masher for this. When you think it is done, mash some more.).
• When the meat is completely browned cover saucepan and turn heat to low.
• After ten minutes, remove the ground meat from the heat and drain.
• While the meat is simmering, in a separate pan, mix the water, Wondra and the cornstarch. (I typically also add all dry ingredients to a separate bowl at this time.).
• Whisk thoroughly as it's added until it's dissolved into the water.
• Add drained meat, all the dry ingredients, vinegar and tomato paste to the water mixture.
• Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally, it will burn if you walk away.
• When chili begins to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Once again stirring occasionally.
• Chili is now ready to add over a steamed hotdog, soft bun and I use Velveeta slices with it. Enjoy!
• I have read different reviews on Weinerscnitzel chili and those that say there is no meat, should look at their rapper closer, before licking it. There is meat it is just crushed real small.
• I believe, if followed exactly, this recipe comes extremely close to that delicious sauce found at Weinerscnitzel. Please try it and comment back here on your results.
