Today is the bearded fellas birthday so, last night I asked him what he wanted for his special day dinner,  at first he said he didn't care.  I was like come on give me something so, he said anything German and he loves veal so, this recipe comes from www.quick-german-recipes.com.  Of course, I had to go grocery shopping but, hey it was for a good cause!!!!  I just love my bearded fella.

                                                           Wiener Schnitzel

4 veal cutlets, pounded lightly
1 Tbls. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
about 1/2 c. flour
3 Tbls. water
1 egg
about 1 c. bread crumbs
3 Tbls. butter
3 Tbls. peanut or veggie oil
1 lemon sliced

Trim fat from meat and clip edges to stop them from curling during cooking.
Sprinkle cutlets with lemon juice and salt.
Place 3 bowls on for egg and water, flour and bread crumbs.
Coat schnitzel first in flour, then egg, and then bread crumbs. 
Heat butter and oil over medium heat in a skillet.
Fry cutlets until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
Serve immediately, garnish with lemon slices.

And for the sauce:
                                                        Jagerschnitzel Sauce

1 Tbls. butter
3 slices bacon, diced
1 onion, diced
1 lb. mushroom, sliced
2 Tbls. tomato paste
1 c. water
1 c. white wine
  thyme, salt, pepper
2 Tbls. parsley, chopped
1/4 c. sour cream


In a skillet brown bacon and onion in 1 Tbls. butter.
Add mushrooms and fry until tender.
Add tomato past, water, and white wine.
Add paprika, season with thyme, salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.  Add parsley and sour cream.  Stir.  Serve over Wiener Schnitzel.

My note:  All I can say is this is an AMAZING recipe and I will be making them again if not for just the sauce alone!!!!!!  I also, put her page on my favorites list so, I can get her updates.  This meal was a big hit with the bearded fella so much so that he took this picture and put it on FB.  I served it with mashed potatoes and black-eyed-peas.  Enjoy!!!!
