Wiener Schnitzel - Michael Fletcher

(old traditional German recipe, another one not to let the name scare you, it’s a great meal!)

3 slices very young veal cutlets        
salt & pepper to taste
flour                                                      
2 eggs, beaten
dry bread crumbs, sifted                   
vegetable shortening
2 chopped hard boiled eggs              
6 very thin lemon slices
6 rolled anchovies with capers         
12 slices pickled beets
parsley

Place cutlets between wax paper and flatten out very thin.  Cut each cutlet in half.  Salt and pepper to taste and scatter each with a little flour.  Beat two eggs and dip floured cutlets and then cover with bread crumbs.  Let chill in fridge while heating oil in large skillet so that it is approx 1 inch deep.  Do not add cutlets until the fat is smoking hot.  Then fry them, no more than one minute on each side.  Drain on paper towel and place on a hot platter.  Garnish with chopped hard boiled eggs, lemon slices, pickled beets and anchovies and capers.  Sprinkle with parsley.  Eat immediately, do not re heat or keep warm in oven.
