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!

Ingredients

  • 3 , 5 ounce
  • 1 medium lemon , juiced, or more to taste
  • 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.25 teaspoons salt , divided
  • 1.25 teaspoons ground black pepper , divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 0.25 cups butter
  • 0.5 cups dry Riesling
  • 1 , 8 ounce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
  • 0.67 cups heavy cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place veal in a 9-inch square dish (or bigger if desired) and pour lemon juice over top. Marinade for 30 minutes, basting occasionally.

  2. 2

    Remove veal from lemon juice and pat dry.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Combine flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and paprika in a bowl. Place veal in the mixture and turn to coat evenly.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    Use tongs to transfer veal to an oven-safe platter. Place in the preheated oven to keep warm.

  7. 7

    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.

  8. 8

    Remove veal from the oven and cover with the mushroom-cream sauce.
