Veal Schnitzel

Veal Schnitzel is a traditional German dish made from thinly pounded veal cutlets that are breaded and fried. The cutlets are first seasoned with salt and pepper, then coated in flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs before being fried in butter or oil. The result is a crispy, golden-brown exterior and a tender, juicy interior. Veal Schnitzel is often served with a side of lingonberry jam and a lemon wedge to add a pop of acidity to the dish. It’s a popular dish in German cuisine and is loved in many countries.
