Make schnitzel with mushroom gravy with Christian
"This German classic is known as Jägerschnitzel (literally hunter’s schnitzel) and is usually served with spätzle, fries, or boiled or fried potatoes. In order to cook the cutlets evenly, use enough clarified butter or lard for the cutlets to literally swim in the fat. If you don’t like or can’t find veal cutlets, you can also use pork or even chicken. Panko breadcrumbs aren’t the traditional choice, but make for a crispier crust."
