Jaeger Schnitzel

Submitted by ninja

"This is a simple variation of the classic German dish I tasted at a local cooking demonstration. It's very good, but I should say I don't have any reference point, not knowing what the classic tastes like. Optionally, add a shot of cream or half 'n half to the gravy. Traditionally served with spaetzle, but egg noodles or potatoes also work well."

A delicious dinner that brought me right back home to the old country! I lightly pounded the pork cutlet before dipping it into the flour mixture and didn't even use the gravy packet. There was enough fond in the skillet after frying the meat, the shallots and the mushrooms to make a pan gravy. I loved the addition of the red wine, it made a rustic and tangy sauce which was enhanced by a splash of heavy cream. Thanks, ninja, for posting!
