GYPSY SCHNITZEL OR ZIGEUNER SCHNITZEL

Category: Pork

4 pork cutlets, pounded thin
Salt and pepper to taste
Sprinkle paprika
3 tbsp butter, divided
1 red and green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 small onion, sliced into thin strips
1 cup mushrooms, sliced thin
1 tbsp flour
1 cup beef stock and red wine, mixed

Pound the pork cutlets until thin, season with salt, pepper and paprika on both sides. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet, saute pork cutlets briefly for about 3 - 4 minutes turning once. Remove the cutlets from the pan and reserve on a platter and keep warm. In the same pan add 1 tbsp of butter, add the onion, red and green peppers and mushrooms simmer until soft. Add flour and stir until just fragrant, add stock/ wine mixture, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened, being sure to mix in scrapings from the bottom of the pan. Return pork to pan & simmer for 5 minutes and serve over noodles or spaetzle or with Pomes Frites (fries) or our favorite, potato pancakes.
