Rahmschnitzel (German Schnitzel in Creamy Mushroom Sauce) image

I lived in Germany for 7 years and fell in love with Rahmschnitzel. Every recipe I found says to use dry white wine in the sauce. Every time I made it, something was missing. It wasn't that "Yep, I'm in Germany" taste. Then my beautiful wife had a Riesling one night and I used it. Now we're back in Germany!

Time 1h5m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 (5 ounce) boneless veal escalopes, pounded to 1/4 thickness or thinner
1 medium lemon, juiced, or more to taste
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¼ teaspoons salt, divided
1 ¼ teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
1 teaspoon ground paprika
¼ cup butter
½ cup dry Riesling
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅔ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place veal in a 9-inch square dish (or bigger if desired) and pour lemon juice over top. Marinade for 30 minutes, basting occasionally.
  • Remove veal from lemon juice and pat dry.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and paprika in a bowl. Place veal in the mixture and turn to coat evenly.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add veal and fry until evenly browned, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Pour in Reisling and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Use tongs to transfer veal to an oven-safe platter. Place in the preheated oven to keep warm.
  • Add mushrooms and chives to the liquid in the skillet; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg. Stir to combine and cook until mushrooms are soft, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately add cream. Mix thoroughly until you see no more white cream, but a consistently light brown sauce.
  • Remove veal from the oven and cover with the mushroom-cream sauce.
