Zurich Ragout (Zürcher Geschnetzeltes) image

I originally found this on the About.com website, but I've seen it on many sites that feature traditional Swiss recipes. Traditionally, the recipe calls for veal veal kidney, but pork loin and chicken can be used in place of veal. It's usually served with Swiss Rosti (hash brown potatoes) and paired with a Swiss white wine or Pinot grigio.
