Weiner Schnitzel Veal Cutlettes With Lemon Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Place flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 individual shallow dishes. Season cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shake of excess, dredge through egg, and last in bread crumbs.
• Heat the oil in large skillet, add butter, and heat until foam subsides. Add 1 Schnitzel at a time to pan, brown from both sides about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels and place in 250 degree F oven to keep warm. Repeat with other Schnitzel. Serve with lemon wedges.
• Fry eggs and top each cutlet with an egg. Top with 1or 2 anchovy fillets and sprinkle with capers, to taste.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the bread into fine crumbs. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl or lipped plate.
• Put the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the milk, and season with salt, and pepper to taste.
• To bread the meat: Dredge a cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess; then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. While the butter is still foaming add the breaded cutlets and cook, swirling the skillet in a tight circle (this keeps the cutlets moving around the skillet), until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes for the first side. Turn the meat and cook 1 minute on the second side to crisp the breading. Transfer to a plate and cover very loosely with foil while you cook the other cutlet. Serve with the lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Add the pretzels, challah and brioche to a food processor and pulse until very fine breadcrumbs form. Season the veal with salt and pepper. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Whisk together 2 of the eggs in a third bowl. Dip each cutlet in the flour, then the eggs and finally the breadcrumbs, making sure both sides are completely coated.
• Heat the oil in a large cast-iron pan and sear the veal, one or two at a time, until they begin to brown around the edges, around 2 minutes. Flip and add a generous tablespoon of butter per veal cutlet. When the butter begins to brown, add some of the caper berries, anchovies and parsley. Cook the meat until it's almost completely done and crispy on the outside. Remove the pan from the flame and sprinkle with the lime and lemon juice. This will stop the cooking of the meat.
• In a nonstick pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up and place one on top of each schnitzel. Sprinkle the paprika through a sieve on each before serving.

Steps:

• Cover work surface with a sheet of waxed paper.
• Arrange cutlets with a few inches between them on paper.
• Over the cutlets, top with a second sheet of waxed paper.
• Pound cutlets out to 1/4-inch thickness using the bottom of a small heavy skillet or a rubber mallet.
• If they are already 1/4 inch, then you don't have to pound them.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Set veal aside and set up 3 disposable pie tins or wide bowls and a plate in a row.
• Place flour in 1 tin and season with salt and pepper.
• In the 2nd tin place the beaten egg with a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper.
• In the 3rd tin pour out about 1 cup of cracker meal or crushed corn flakes.
• I use crushed corn flakes that are sold in a box in the supermarket already crushed.
• Dredge the veal completely in flour.
• Then coat the veal evenly with egg on both sides.
• Gently press veal into the cracker meal or crushed corn flakes and rest the coated cutlets on the plate.
• Add a drizzle of oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
• When the butter foams, add veal and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown all over.
• Remove to a warm plate and sprinkle a little nutmeg over the hot schnitzels.
• Garnish with the lemon wedges, as the lemon wedges are to be squeezed over the schnitzels before eating.

Steps:

• Using 3 shallow dishes, place flour, salt, and pepper in one, in another whisk together eggs and water. Finally, in the 3rd dish stir together bread crumbs, zest, thyme.
• Dip cutlets, 1 at a time, into the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip them in the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and finally, dredge in bread crumb mixture. Transfer cutlets as coated to a large cooling rack and let dry at room temperature for 30 minutes to one hour. NOTE: This is where you would freeze them if making OAMC. Bake or fry frozen or partially thawed. For the lemon slices, mix the flour, cornmeal, and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• In a heavy skillet heat 1 inch oil over medium-high heat to 350°F When oil is ready, begin frying the cutlets. Gently place in oil and fry about 2 minutes on each side or until golden. begin frying the cutlets, 2 at a time, about 2 minutes on each side until golden. Place on cooling rack to drain.
• When cutlets are done, remove any food particles in oil remaining in skillet with a slotted spoon and discard. Dredge lemon slices in flour/cornmeal mixture, pressing firmly to coat. Fry lemon slices, turning them once, until golden, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer lemon slices to a cooling rack or paper towels to drain. Serve cutlets with fried lemon slices.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Pound the veal cutlets to an even, approximately 1/8-inch thickness, or have your butcher do this for you. In a dish, sprinkle the cutlets with lemon juice and let stand for 30 minutes. Season both sides with salt. Place the flour on a flat plate, and place the egg/water mixture in a wide, shallow bowl. Add the oil to the egg mixture and beat in with a fork. Spread the bread crumbs on a large plate. Dip the cutlets lightly into the flour, making sure to coat all surfaces, then gently shake off the excess flour. Dip the cutlets into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip away, and then dredge them in the bread crumbs. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Heat your largest, heavy skillets over medium-high heat and add the butter. When the butter is quite hot and the foam starts to subside, add the veal (cook in batches if necessary - but don't crowd them in the pan). If the butter browns too much after cooking the first batch, you may need to discard it, wipe out the pan, and add more butter for the next batch. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, until golden brown, and turn with a spatula (don't use a fork or tongs, or the breading may be pierced). When the second side is golden, the schnitzels should be cooked through. Transfer to a warm platter and keep warm in a 250 degree oven while you cook the second batch, if necessary.

Steps:

• Pound veal with a meat pounder until very thin, being careful not to tear the meat. If you don't have veal, you can also use pork or chicken cutlets. I have used all 3 at one time or another and they are all delicious.
• Beat the eggs with lemon juice. Set aside.
• Combine bread crumbs, cheese, and seasonings. Dip the veal in egg mixture and then in the bread crumb mixture, coating evenly.
• Place the meat on a cookie sheet in single layer and refrigerate, covered with wax paper, for at least 1 hour to help keep coating intact when cooking.
• Saute veal until lightly browned on both sides, 7-10 minutes in all, in butter or olive oil.
• Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and parsley.

Steps:

• Wipe meat with damp cloth, pound very thin.
• Dip lightly in flour.
• Mix cheese, 2 T flour, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg and milk.
• Beat until smooth.
• Dip floured cutlets in this batter.
• Cook over low heat in 4 T butter until golden and tender.
• Remove cutlets to a warmed serving platter and keep hot.
• Heat remaining butter until darkened, add lemon juice.
• Stir and pour over 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.
