Hunter's Schnitzel - veal or pork cutlets smothered in a
brown gravy with sautéed mushrooms
1 lb. boneless pork or veal cutlets
2 eggs (beaten)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
oil
2 oz bacon (diced)
4 oz onions (chopped)
8 oz mushrooms (sliced)
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup dry wine
dash of thyme
pepper
salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1 Tbsp parsley
2 Tbsp sour cream
Step 1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
Pound cutlets with a meat tenderizer to flatten them. Season cutlets
with salt and pepper, dredge them in beaten eggs and then coat evenly with
bread crumbs. Place cutlets into skillet and fry until golden brown (1-2
minutes on each side). Remove the meat from the skillet and drain on
paper towels. Keep the meat warm in the oven while you make the gravy.
Step 2. Sauté bacon and onions until golden brown. Add tomato
paste and mushrooms, and sauté over a low heat. Add wine, water and
seasonings; let simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in the sour cream.
Pour over Schnitzel just before serving.
