Veal butter schnitzel with mashed potatoes

Recipe
Austrian cuisine

A true delight from Viennese cuisine: Veal butter patties with mashed potatoes. Tender minced veal, carefully prepared and golden-browned in butter, paired with creamy mashed potatoes enhanced by a touch of nutmeg.

Harald Brunner

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients (4 servings)
500 g veal shoulder, lightly marbled - ideally pre-ground
3 bread rolls
1 egg
1 cup(s) cream
1 kleiner bunch of parsley, chopped
150 g butter
4 clarified butter
Some milk and cream to soak in
Salt
Grated nutmeg
  • Chop the meat very finely, grind it yourself or buy it already ground.
  • Remove the crusts from 2 bread rolls and soak them in a little milk and cream – gently squeeze out excess liquid, mix them with the ground meat and combine with the egg, cream, parsley, salt and nutmeg.
  • Heat the butter in a small pan until foaming and lightly brown. Then fold into the mixture. Form flat, oval patties.
  • Heat a little butter and clarified butter in a pan, place the veal patties in the pan and fry slowly, constantly moving the pan and souffléing them – i.e. pouring the melted fat over them with a spoon.
  • Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  • Add veal/beef stock to the residue, reduce and let it boil down. Finally, stir in cold pieces of butter with a whisk. 
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and baby vegetables.
