Quantity for 6 Persons.
2¼ lbs. of veal from the leg
Salt, pepper
2 eggs
Juice of ½ lemon
⅛ lb. of butter
6 eggs
Flour
Preparation: The veal is cut into six ¾ inch thick slices, pounded,
salted, peppered. Beat the eggs well, dip the meat into it and then
sprinkle with flour. Heat the butter and fry the slices to a light
brown on both sides. While they are frying, drip the lemon juice on.
When well done, put them on a hot platter. Make the gravy with ½ cup
of water poured into frying butter and salt if necessary, cook and
pour over the cutlets. The eggs are fried and placed on each cutlet
carefully so the yolk does not run out.
No. 24—VEAL CUTLET OR SCHNITZEL A LA HOLSTEIN.
Quantity for 6 Persons.
2¼ lbs. of veal from the leg
2 eggs
Salt
1 pinch of paprika
⅛ lb. of butter
4 hard-boiled eggs
2 tbsps. of pickled beets, chopped
1 tbsp. of capers
1 small pickle
6 sardines
6 slices or six-eighths of a lemon
¼ tbsp. of flour
¾ cup of water
½ tsp. of meat extract
1 tbsp. of onions
Preparation: The meat is cut into six ½ inch thick slices, sprinkled
with salt and paprika and dipped into well-beaten egg. The butter is
heated and the meat fried brown on both sides, then put on a hot
platter. The ¼ tablespoonful of flour stirred into the butter and ¾
cup of water added with ½ teaspoonful of meat extract and salt, if
necessary, then boiled and poured over the meat.
The hard-boiled eggs are chopped fine, the whites separate from the
yolks. The sardines are drained and cut into halves lengthwise, then
rolled up. Now arrange your dish neatly, little heaps of beets,
onions, pickle, white and yolk of egg, lemon slices on each cutlet.
The rolled sardines in the middle of the lemon slice, heaps of the
rest around each and the capers singly in between. Should be prepared
quickly but appetizingly.
