Zürigschnätzlets (Veal in Cream Sauce- Veal Zurich) image

Very traditional Swiss meal. Adapted from Betty Bossi. You can also add about 200g of calf's kidney, instead of some of the veal, but I don't like it so I omit it.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

600 g veal, cut into thin strips about 1 1/2 inch long
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 of an onion, chopped fine
200 g mushrooms, sliced
1 cup of a young white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc
1 cup cream
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon cornflour

Steps:

  • Sauté the veal in a little (extra) butter briefly until browned, season with salt and pepper, and drain on paper towels. Don't overcook the meat - it should just be browned on the surface at this point since it will cook more in the sauce.
  • Add butter to the pan you sautéed the meat in, and cook the onion until transparent. Add the mushrooms and sauté. Add the flour. Add a pinch of dried thyme (optional).
  • Add the wine and cook down rapidly over high heat. Add the meat back. (If the wine is too mellow, add a little lemon juice).
  • Dissolve the cornflour in the cream, and add this to the pan, stir and let bubble just until the meat is cooked but still tender.
  • Take off the heat and adjust the seasoning. Serve with plain rice, buttered rice, boiled potatoes, pasta, or (most traditionally) with rösti or knöpfli (spaezle).
