Ingredients

  • about 680 g Veal cutlets, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
  • to taste Salt and Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 medium Onion, chopped
  • about 225 g Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Dry white wine (optional)
  • 1 can Coconut cream
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 medium Potatoes, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the about 680 g of thinly sliced veal cutlets with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the veal and toss to coat evenly.
  2. 2Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large 30.48 cm skillet over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C). Add the floured veal in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan. Brown the veal for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  3. 3Add the 1 medium chopped onion and the about 225 g of sliced mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook over medium heat (148.9°C / 150°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and the mushrooms have released their liquid and started to brown.
  4. 4If using, pour in the 1/2 cup of dry white wine. Increase the heat to medium-high (190.6°C / 190°C) and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits. Let the wine bubble and reduce by about half, which should take 1-2 minutes.
  5. 5Reduce the heat to medium-low (148.9°C / 150°C). Stir in the can of coconut cream and the 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for 3-5 minutes until it has thickened slightly.
  6. 6Return the browned veal to the skillet with the sauce. Stir to coat the veal and let it heat through for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
  7. 7While the sauce is simmering, prepare the Rösti. In a bowl, mix the 4 medium grated potatoes with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate 25.4 cm skillet over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C).
  8. 8Carefully add the potato mixture to the hot skillet, pressing it down to form a large patty. Cook for 8-10 minutes without disturbing, until the bottom is deeply golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the potato patty using a large spatula and cook the other side for another 8-10 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Slide the Rösti onto a serving plate.
