Dip veal into egg, let excess drip off, then dip in bread crumbs; set on a rack. Heat oil and butter together in a large frying pan over medium heat. Saute veal until golden on both sides, about 15 minutes total. Remove to a serving platter and keep warm. Add onions to the skillet (you may need to add a little extra oil) and saute until limp but not brown; then add pepper rings, beef broth and mushrooms. Cook until vegetables are tender. Combine cream and flour, and stir this into vegetables. Heat until thickened, then pour over veal and serve immediately.

Vienna Schnitzel

Vienna Schnitzel

Ingredients:

veal (2 pieces x 150 g)
2 tbsp. flour
1 egg
4 tbsp. butter
salt, pepper to taste

Procedure:

Beat the veal chops with the kitchen hammer, but don’t make them too thin, the schnitzel chops should at least be 4 mm thick. Prepare one plate with flour, and another plate with the beaten egg. Season the chops with the salt and pepper from the both sides, put into the plate with flour and and remove the spare flour from the chops. There shouldn’t be too much flour on the meat. Put the floured schnitzel chops into the plate with the beaten egg and place it into the hot buttered frying pan. Fry the chops for about minute and a half on the lower side until golden brown, then turn to the other side, and fry for about 2 minutes. Fry the chops on the medium heat not to make them too dry. Remove the schnitzel from the pan, and put on the dishes. Serve with the fresh green salad or potato salad.

Goetta

Goetta
Ingredients:

2 lb Pork neck bones
1/2 qt Boiling water
6 Peppercorns
1 small Bay leaf
1 cup Oatmeal
Salt
1 Onion; diced
Cayenne
1 tsp. Allspice

Procedure:

Cook meat in water with peppercorns and bay leaf until meat falls away from bone. (I prefer to put the pot in refrigerator all night and skim off fat in the morning). Grind meat. Cook oatmeal in liquid with rest of ingredients and ground pork (You may have to add more water). Cook to consistency of mush. Pour into loaf pans which have been rinsed in cold water. When ready to serve, remove from pan, slice and fry in a little melted butter or drippings until brown. Good for breakfast served with toast. Since I make a large batch, I remove the goetta from the pans when they are firm enough to hold their shape, wrap in plastic and freeze.
