Veal Zurich

chia's Note:

this is quick and tasty, great served over buttered noodles. i first tried this dish yers ago. it's from my cookbook by pierre franey called 60 minute gourmet, which was compiled from his weekly column in the NY Times, circa 1970s. i apologize if it's not authentic, but it is very good.

Very good, we liked this very much, served it over noodles. Also a green salad. Thanks for posting the recipe.

This is not an authentic recipe. In Switzerland, we would never add pork to our veal zurich. We also wouldn't use tarragon and instead of the sour cream we use cream. Veal Zurich consists of veal, onions, mushrooms, cream, white wine, a little bit of flour to thicken the sauce and sometimes parsley. As Marianne said already, this is traditionally served with rösti, but I have seen it with noodles, too.
