Wiener schnitzel with potato and lamb's lettuce salad

Recipe
Austrian cuisine

The Wiener Schnitzel with potato and lamb’s lettuce salad is the epitome of Austrian culinary art and a true classic, cherished worldwide.

Heinz Reitbauer

Cooking time: 45 minutes

Ingredients (4 servings)
3 piece(s) dried or hard, stale Kaiser rolls
4 piece(s) 4 veal schnitzels from special-fed bob veal calves, 5.5 oz. (160 g) each, a quarter inch thick (or 8 veal loin schnitzels, 3 oz. (80 g) each, a quarter inch thick). The veal should be matured for at least 2 weeks.
1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 cup(s) canola oil for frying
2 cup(s) clarified butter for frying
2 cup(s) lard (the amount of fat always depends on the size of the pan)
1 lemon, untreated
1 1/4 cup(s) salt
  • Make the breadcrumbs yourself from the dried rolls. Sift half of the breadcrumbs a little more coarsely than the other half. Then mix.
  • Cover the schnitzels with cling film and flatten them slightly. Then remove the film, salt them on both sides and bread them in the Viennese style (immediately before frying): Shake off the flour well, don’t beat the eggs until uniform, and press on the breadcrumbs very lightly.
  • In a tall, thick-walled pan, heat the fat mixture to approx. 285 °F (140 °C). Place the schnitzels in the pan and immediately increase the heat to up to 350 °F (180 °C), continuously swirling the pan. After the first 30 seconds, turn without piercing the meat, then continue to sauté and  swirl until the schnitzel is a deep, golden yellow.
  • Carefully remove the schnitzels with a spatula, allow the fat to drain and thoroughly dry off with a paper towel. Cut the lemon into 6 wedges and individually wrap them in 8 by 8 inch size lemon wraps.
  • Serve with potato and lamb‘s lettuce salad.
