One of my favourite cities in Europe is beautiful Vienna! 🇦🇹 🌍
What comes to your mind when you think of Vienna? Amazing architecture, castles and cathedrals? Elegance? Sissy? Mozart’s Apartment? Sacher cake 🍰 ? I will leave this for another time 😝
All of the above and more are correct but for me personally, one of the things I associate Vienna (and whole of Austria ) is the Wiener Schnitzel ! 🥩

A Schnitzel is a fried thin slice of breaded meat, usually thinned by a meat pounder. The meat is usually veal, pork, chicken, mutton, beef or turkey.
Here is my take on the famous Wiener Schnitzel. Note: I used both veal and pork meat 🥩
Ingredients:
- 2 rose veal fillets 🥩 (about 250 g) I got mine from Waitrose or
- 4 Iberico Pork fillets 🥩 (mine were smaller so I doubled down 😆)
- 150 ml buttermilk
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
- 4 duck eggs 🥚 (2 egg yolks, 2 eggs)
- sesame seeds
- one lemon 🍋
- 30 g of all purpose flour
- 60 g butter 🧈
- vegetable oil
- 40 ml milk 🥛
- fresh parsley 🌿
- 2-3 anchovy fillets
- salt 🧂
- pepper
- onion flakes
Method 👩🍳:
- Place the meat between cling film and thin the fillets using meat pounder or rolling pin
- Place the veal fillets in a small tray with buttermilk and leave to tenderness for about 2 hours in the fridge
- In a bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, onion flakes, flour and sesame seeds. Season with salt and pepper
- In a separate bowl, beat the duck egg yolks with the milk
- Dip the veal fillets into the egg mix and then into the coating. Turn to ensure both sides are covered
- Heat some vegetable oil in pan – medium to high temperature
- Add 30 g of butter and let it melt until it becomes golden brown
- Fry the veal fillets on both sides until browned up and crisp. Set them aside
- Melt the remaining butter in the same pan and cook to a golden brown. Careful not to burn it. Add some lemon juice to taste and stir in the chopped parsley
- In a separate pan carefully break the duck eggs. Fry until the whites are set
- Time to plate! Place the veal Schnitzel in a plate and top with the duck egg. Spoon on the sauce. Garnish with anchovies
- Tip: If you like you can serve with some gherkins or chillies on the side
Guten Appetit! 🥂 😋
