Veal Schnitzel
Chicken Schnitzel has been a favourite of mine for years and I always ordered it if we ever had a counter lunch at the pub. It wasn't until we started eating our own beef several years ago that I had to start innovating with my recipes and learn to use the whole animal.Now, I'm convinced that Veal or Beef Schnitzel is even better than the chicken version! It has a rich flavour, and is a definite crowd pleaser! Topside or round steaks, hammered flat, are great crumbed for schnitzels, and can be prepared in advance if you need a quick and easy meal.I also tend to eat gluten free if I can, and preparing it myself makes it easy to avoid gluten that would traditionally be in the breadcrumbs of most store-bought or pub-lunch schnitties.Simple but delicious – I hope you enjoy!
