Wienerschnitzel!

Submitted by EmmyDuckie

"It may be the butt of jokes, but despite the funny name, Wienerschnitzel is seriously good food. If you have a moral objection to veal, use turkey, or even pork, but whatever you do, don't omit the nutmeg or lemon."

Followed the recipe to a tee and the only suggestion I would make is to let the cutlets sit in a buttermilk bath prior to dipping in the egg mixture. The buttermilk bath will tenderize the meat and add a nice zip that will also help the flour stick to the cutlets.

Had this for dinner and it great! I used veg. oil and a splash of olive oil. I'll be picking up more veal to make and freeze these cutlets for a couple of easy dinners. Thanks for posting!

This was super easy and super simple. The nutmeg and lemon added a nice, authentic flavor. Made for ZWT6.

Sometimes simplicity is best. This is a fine example. Simply delicious. I especially loved the hint of nutmeg and lemon!! I used less olive oil, about 1/2 cup, and it worked just fine! Danke for posting. ~Made for ZWT6 Zee Zany Zesty Cookz~
