Paprikaschnitzel is a schnitzel served with a spicy sauce of bell peppers and onions. Great for fall or any time you crave something delicious!

Ingredients:

1 egg
breadcrumbs for coating
oil
1/4 green bell pepper, diced
1/4 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 tomato, seeded and diced
up to 1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup water

Method:

  1. Season breadcrumbs with salt and pepper. Beat egg in a separate bowl.
  2. Pound veal cutlets thin if necessary, then dip into the beaten egg.
  3. Let excess egg drip off cutlets and press cutlets into breadcrumbs.
  4. Oil pan over medium-high heat and fry cutlets until golden brown. Set aside.
