Another traditional dish from Austria, which is rather easy to make, even though a bit time consuming, but the effort is absolutely worth it. You can find this dish mainly in the south of Austria (I like to think it is a bit Italian-influenced) and sometimes it is the only vegetarian food (apart from salad) to find on a menu (countryside pubs and restaurants). Lucky me,that it is one of my favourites. This dish usually comes with fountains of melted, browned butter, you can either induldge or adjust, e.g. limit, the amount to your preferences :).
Vienna is one of my favorite cities in the world. I also love Austrian cooking like this one with a glass of chilled gruner veltliner. Using cabbage in dishes always make me happy because it’s so nutritious and tasty. I am also posting a homemade fleckerl (egg noodle recipe) if you want to try making your own. Othwerwise, small square noodles or egg noodle work fine here.
A delicious sauce made with cream, Austrian Riesling (which is usually dry), and egg yolks turn plain old chicken into a dish that is truly elegant! Serve with fine egg noodles and a green salad.
Rotwein-Nudeln Mit Fruehlingszwiebeln, from a Betty Bossi cookbook (Switzerland). A Swiss friend prepared this for me when I was living overseas. It is a simple but tasty dish. The salt helps the pasta absorb the red wine color. I have translated the recipe from German so it may need some tweaking.
Wolfgang Puck says about his weinerschnitzel: “This is a recipe from my childhood, an Austrian classic. It’s one of the most popular dishes at Spago where we serve it with mache, frisée, balsamic vinegar and pumpkinseed oil. But for me, it’s perfect with just a fingerling potato salad.” He modified his weinerschnitzel to chicken for the People Magazine article ‘Dinner for 4 under $10″, which was published February 22, 2010. Cook/prep time does not include rest time for potatoes. This would pair nicely with an Austrian riesling. Taken from People magazine and posted for ZWT.
