This recipe hails from Austria, the use of chocolate with whipping cream and cinnamon is typically Austrian. Even though there is no gelatine used, it firms up nicely and has a creamy, silky texture. 2 hours of cooling is included in the cooking time.
Traditional recipe from Bavaria, Germany and Salzburg, Austria region. From an old newspaper clipping in my grandmother’s recipe box.
This recipe was taught to me by my Bavarian Mutti. I have, since, tried to measure and journal how to make this wonderful stew. This stew is made with beef chuck, a combination of hot and mild paprika with a touch of caraway seeds. Served over spaetzle, buttered noodles or with tradition Semmel Knoedel (bread dumplings) this is a family favorite recipe. Please visit my blog for a tutorial on how to make this.
Looking for something with just a little more punch or “specialness”. Came across this, made it, & declared success! Note – I used pork loin, sliced 1/2 inch thick, & then pounded, as with any escalope.
DH took me to an Austrian themed restaurant and, as we perused the menu, the table next to us was served. He immediately said “I’ll have what they are having!” Unfortunately they were having the last available servings of a house special. He was crushed. The “house” wasn’t into sharing their recipe. Just based on “eye-balling” the dish I came up with this, which got the DH seal of approval. Serve with boiled new potatoes, steamed cabbage or spiced red cabbage. We like Baked Latkes #48494 and Dill Green Beans #7767 with this.
