  • The next day, peel and finely chop the onions for the salad, sauté briefly in oil and add the mustard. Allow to sweat briefly. Deglaze with the vinegar. Cut the potatoes into flakes and mix with the marinade. Then bring to the desired consistency with warm beef stock and water.
  • Coat the venison escalopes in flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs mixed with pumpkin seeds and bake in hot oil at 170 °C until floating. Lift out and drain on a wire rack. Garnish the salad with radishes and lamb's lettuce, serve the schnitzel with lemon as usual.
