Axoa d’Espelette. A delicious veal stew that is slightly spicy. “Espelette is a slightly piquant red pepper grown in the Basque region of France and Spain.” In this recipe, a combination of red bell peppers and a little cayenne makes a good substitute.
This is a really special entree, perfect for a holiday dinner.Serve the gently flavored sour cream sauce over spaetzle or buttered noodles with poppy seeds.From a 1987 Bon Appetit that featured a menu and recipes for A Fantasy Yuletide in Old Vienna.You may also use a 3 1/2 pound veal leg, boned and tied, instead of the veal shoulder.
My adaptation of Huey’s Weiner Schnitzel with a Proper Potato Salad. It is the homemade mayonnaise that makes this potato salad particularly delicious – or as Huey described it “proper” – and making it in a food processor couldn’t be easier, although it could, of course, also be made by hand. Huey opts for vegetable oil here rather than olive oil as he insists that it can more effectively be flavoured with other ingredients such as herbs and garlic. The bacon he panfries in olive oil and then adds to the hot potatoes which readily absorb the bacon juices. The leftover eggwash he suggests saving and later adding to some extra eggs to make scrambled eggs. To avoid getting lumps in the breadcrumbs, he suggests using one hand for dipping each schnitzel in the flour and egg and the other hand for dipping the floured, egged schnitzel into the breadcrumbs. If you want to enjoy the potato salad at its most flavoursome, it is essential that it NOT be placed in the fridge but that it is made and eaten on the same day.
This is a mouthwatering Swiss specialty dish originating in the town of Zurich, Switzerland. Typically served with Rosti (Swiss hashbrowns), but equally good with mashed potatoes, spaetzle, or dumplings. There are many versions of Geschnetzeltes that can be found throughout the region in restaurants and in home kitchens, alike. I particularly like this version with lemon and parsley.
This is such a tasty, but easy, way to prepare veal. A long-standing favourite, and lovely in summer with braised red cabbage, potato salad, and a tossed green salad. Preparation time does not include marinading or setting breadcrumbs in fridge.
