Recipe - Rahmschnitzel (Veal Escalopes With Cream)

4 lg Veal escalopes, pounded thin
1 Juice of 1 lemon
One fourth cup Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
One half teaspoon Black pepper
One half teaspoon Paprika
One fourth cup Butter
One fourth cup Dry white wine
8 ounce Button mushrooms, wiped clea
n & cut or sliced up
2 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives or scal
lions (spring onions)
One fourth teaspoon Salt
One fourth teaspoon Black pepper
One fourth teaspoon Nutmeg, grated
One half cup Heavy cream

In a shallow dish place the escalopes and pour over the lemon juice. Set
aside and marinate for 30 minutes, basting occasionally. Remove the veal
from the marinade and dry them on paper towels. Discard the lemon juice.

Season flour with salt, pepper & paprika. Place the flour on a plate and,
one by one, dip the escalopes in it, shaking off any excess. Set aside.

In a large frying pan, melt 3 T of the butter over moderate heat. When the
foam subsides, place the escalopes in the pan. Fry them for 34 minutes on
each side or until they are lightly and evenly browned.

Pour in the white wine and bring to the boil. Cook for a further 2
minutes, stirring constantly. With tongs or a slotted spoon remove the
escalopes from the pan and place them on a warmed serving dish.

Set the dish aside and keep warm while you make the sauce.

Add the remaining butter to the pan and melt it over moderate heat.

When the foam subsides, add the mushrooms, chives or scallions, salt,
pepper and nutmeg to the pan and stir well to mix. Cook the mixture for 3
minutes or until the mushrooms are tender. Remove from the heat and stir in
the cream.

Pour the sauce over the escalopes and serve at once.

Serves 4. Suggested accompaniments: creamed potatoes, petite peas,
wellchilled bottle of Rudesheimer wine.
