Wiener Schnitzel

Preparation

You'll need:

• A large pan for the cutlets
• Two plates for the coating
• A small pot for the red cabbage
• If needed a deep fryer for the chips / french fries

Ingredients (for 2 persons)

• 2 cutlets of veal, as large as possible (okay don't overdo it) and very thin (best piece would be the topside).
• 4 to 5 yolks
• Breadcrumbs
• A can of red cabbage
• A lemon
• Chips / French Fries (I buy deep frozen french fries)
• Some whipped cream
• Frying fat (Butaris or similar dripping)
• Salt, Pepper

The side dishes

With this meal I concentrate on the cutlets, and keep it easy with the red cabbage and the french fries: I simply buy ready-made red cabbage in a glass (with or without apple) and the french fries are the deep-frozen kind for the oven.

The cutlets

To coat the cutlets with breadcrumbs, one needs a plate for the yolk, and a second large plate for the bread crumbs.
Add some whipped cream from the spray can (just a bit) to the yolks (it will make the coating stick better to the cutlet) and some salt around one tea spoon. Then stir that mix well with a fork.
Now melt 3 or 4 table spoons of Butaris in a pan on medium to high heat. In the same time, take a cutlet and turn it first in the yolk and then in the bread crumbs and quickly put it into the hot pan.
Fry it a short time and turn it. Everything should go quickly, since the cutlets are thin and the fat very hot. Better turn it several times, and watch out that it doesn't get too dark. As soon as it has the right colour, take it out of the pan, pour the fat away, clean the pan with a kitchen paper, and repeat all steps.
