6 ounces white wine
6 ounces heavy cream
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup parsley, chopped

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality veal for the best flavor. Organic or grass-fed veal is a great option if available.
  • Cut the veal thinly: Thinly sliced veal will cook quickly and evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a meat slicer to cut the veal.
  • Marinate the veal: Marinating the veal in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, or a more complex marinade with ingredients like wine, soy sauce, and ginger.
  • Cook the veal quickly over high heat: Zürich Geschnetzeltes is a quick-cooking dish, so it's important to cook the veal over high heat. This will help to sear the veal and keep it tender.
  • Use a good quality white wine: The wine used in the sauce should be a good quality dry white wine. A Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio are good choices.
  • Add the cream at the end: The cream should be added to the sauce at the very end of the cooking process. This will help to prevent the cream from curdling.
  • Serve immediately: Zürich Geschnetzeltes is best served immediately after it is cooked. It can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as spätzle, rice, or mashed potatoes.
