  • Preparation: 10 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (243 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Dairy-free, High protein, Low carb
  • Contains: beef, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 150 g Veal cutlets, raw
  • 15 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 50 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 1 g Salt
  • 0.3 g Black pepper
  • 20 g Vegetable oil
  • 5 g Lemon juice
  • 2 g Parsley, fresh

Method

  1. Season the veal cutlet with the salt and pepper, place it between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound gently to an even 5 mm thickness.
  2. Set out the flour on one plate and the beaten egg on another.
  3. Dredge the cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it in the beaten egg to coat completely — unlike Wiener schnitzel, Pariser schnitzel is never coated in breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the schnitzel for 2-3 minutes per side until the egg coating is golden and the veal is cooked through.
  5. Drain briefly on paper towel, then serve with the lemon juice squeezed over and the parsley scattered on top.
