About the dish

Rahmschnitzel is a German meat dish. It's usually prepared with a veal cutlet, but pork or chicken can be used instead, if preferred. Other ingredients include flour, butter, white wine, heavy cream, and herbs such as parsley and chives. The meat is tenderized and seasoned, then rolled in flour and fried in butter until golden brown. White wine is added to the pan in order to form a sauce with heavy cream and a bit of sugar. When done, each cutlet is topped with the gravy and garnished with chopped chives or parsley. Traditionally, this dish is served with spaetzle , but pasta or potatoes are also welcome additions regarding side dishes.
