Schnitzel à la California


Maybe you saw my post on Schnitzel à la Holstein in October, veal topped with a sunnyside up egg and anchovies?

Well, that dish was the inspiration for a new dish featuring the darling breaded veal cutlet. I'm calling it Schnitzel à la California.


Season the veal, then dust in flour, dip in egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.


Sauté veal in a mixture of half butter/half olive oil.



Plate the golden veal cutlets, top with sliced Haas avocado and Pearl on Vine tomatoes.



Meanwhile, add a little more butter and olive oil to the pan, then add capers. Remove from heat, add a squeeze of lemon juice and fresh chopped basil and parsley.



Immediately top the avocado and tomato with the warm capers & herbs.
