Wiener Schnitzel (Slideshow version)

Wiener Schnitzel : Photo of step #26

Stage 9/9 : 3 min.

Serve immediately. The traditional garnish is a slice of lemon and a sprig of parsley.

Remarks

Ask your Butcher to prepare the cutlets nice and fine for you, cut vertically and from the cushion (thick part of the leg) if possible, as this is important for the recipe. Explain that you are making Wiener schnitzels and any good butcher will know what to do.

Please note that if you cook the cutlets in batches, you will need to change the oil as bits of the breadcrumb coating will fall off and they will burn if left in the pan too long.

And to drink?

To be true to the dish's origins, a bottle of Grüner Veltliner, the Austrian white wine.
