Chicken Schnitzel With Warm Potato Salad

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.

Viennese Chocolate Pepper Cookies

Put these thin little chocolate cookies on your holiday platter & let tasters be surprised, very surprised. The black pepper and allspice gives unexpected snap. Found in The Washington Post, adapted from “The Ultimate Chocolate Cookie Book,” by Bruce Weinstein. Make the dough & chill – this allows you to bake when you want to, as many as you want at a time.

Styrian “gigantes” (Scarlet Runner Bean Casserole)

This is a styrian version (Styria, Province of Austria) of a hearty, simple and vegan Greek Bean dish, that tastes heavenly and uses “Käferbohnen” (Scarlet runner beans) instead of white giant beans. If you can’t get hold of Scarlet Runner Beans use giant beans instead. The original recipe calls for about 200ml olive oil, i cut that lavish amount in half, and still find it’s enough oil left :). Prep.time comes without beansoaking time!

Topfenpalatschinken – Crepes With Quark Filling

This is another classic Viennese dessert. Thinly baked crepes, filled with a Quark Cream filling and finished in the oven. It is important to use authenthic German Quark/Topfen. Some of the upscale markets and German deli’s in the US carry it but if you can’t find it, there is a fantastic recipe for home made Quark already posted. “Recipe #476124”, it’s easy and inexpensive to make and works perfect for this recipe.
