The Schnitzel that I've made is just veal, pounded very thin. You can find a recipe anywhere. I like to make Veal Marsala, but my teen DSs aren't crazy about eating it, now that they know where veal comes from...
from what i understand, the schnitzel at the biergarten is chicken. however, the only schnitzel i've ever had is weiner schnitzel, which is made with pork tenderloins. my mom's best friend showed her how to make it upon returning from 4 years on an army base in germany. you need pork tenderloins, eggs, bread crumbs and butter/margarine (whichever you prefer). pound pork tenderloins paper thin with a tenderizing mallet, dip in beaten eggs, then in bread crumbs and fry in skillet with butter/margarine. this could very well be an american variation of a german recipe, i don't know, this is just how my family has always eaten it, and it's UNBELIEVABLE! it also seems to go with any side dish you'd like to serve. hope this is helpful
When I lived in Germany, I got hooked on Jaegerschnitzel - the veal schnitzel with a special brown gravy and mushrooms. It sounds like a slab of meat with gravy but it is not! That, red cabbage, and a salad with vinegarette dressing.....um! Good luck with your recipe.....I am drooling now!
Maybe I'm just dense today, but I'm trying to figure out what the OP was looking to buy to make it at home. The meat? The breading? Inquiring minds want to know.
The Chicken Shnitzel at Biergarten is SOOO yummy! It was like a fried chicken steak, but it doesn't taste like the typical American Fried Chicken Steak.
It's definitely similar. Schnitzel is actually the ancestor of the American Chicken Fried Steak, as it supposedly grew out of the home kitchens of German immigrants in Texas.
