I have found the flouring of the schnitzel before browning in many recipes.

I don’t like the flour-fried schnitzel very much and prefer to bind the sauce with some cornflour or with a raw and finely grated potato.

3. Tips for Preparing Jaegerschnitzel

The naturally roasted Schnitzerl with mushrooms is prepared in different regional ways and put on the plate.

Here I present you my variant:

For the sauce you need a veal stock from a glass or another simple gravy.

Please do not use beef gravy, it is too strong in taste.

The preparation is very simple:

First clean the mushrooms and cut into small pieces.
Fry the mushrooms in clarified butter over a high heat in a pan.
Add finely chopped shallots and sweat briefly until translucent.
Remove the mushrooms and shallots from the pan and place them in a bowl.
Roast aromas have already formed in the pan.
Lightly plate the schnitzel and season with salt and pepper.
Fry the meat in the pan with clarified butter on both sides and let it take on colour.
Add a secret ingredient, see recipe!
Add the mushrooms and shallots again, pour in the gravy or gravy and steam with a lid at a reduced temperature.

I have preparation, mushrooms first roast and then only the Schnitzerl, turned over.

So the ingredients can unfold their wonderful taste when browned evenly.

Hunter’s schnitzel with morel jus is a gourmet schnitzel… The veal stock I’ll show you somewhere else.
