Nothing beats a good schnitzel. I've always been a massive fan of schnitty, it's such a versatile meal with never ending options for all tastebuds; grilled schnitzel, crumbed schnitzel, schnitzel with mushroom sauce, tomato sauce, eggplant parmiciana schnitzel, the list goes on. Throw it on a plate with salad, veggies or chips and Voila!, you've got the perfect meal for both Summer and Winter.
My personal favorite is crumbed schnitzel with freshly squeezed lemon juice poured over the top. Something about that tangy, warm, cripsy meat that melts in your mouth. It's always been a long tradition that Mum cooks up this delicious treat every so often, and pub schnitty's never seem to compare!
This evening I am going to The Austrian Schnitzelhaus in Erina (Sydney), with some friends and my boyfriend. The boys are taking part in the Schnitzel Challenge - 1kg of GIANT schnitzel with chips and a whopping 1kg of beer, all for $55. If the entire meal is completed within the hour, winners receive a free dessert (not that they'd have room to fit that in!), a t-shirt, and their photo put up on the 'Champions Wall of Fame'.
For the girls, there is a wide range of different schnitzel options. Some I have never heard of include the 'Cordon Bleu' schnitzel, which is stuffed with ham and swiss cheese, crumbed and shallow fried. I like the sound of the 'Italian Schnitzel', where the schnitzel is dipped into flour, egg and Parmesan cheese, pan fried and topped with a homemade Neopolitan sauce. Yum!
I think I'm going to stick with the healthier option and my all time favorite - the 'Vienna Schnitzel' - crumbed meat pan fried and served with lemon wedges, or I may go the 'Natural Schnitzel', which comes topped with Garlic & herb butter or Red wine sauce. Too many choices if you ask me!
Can't wait to see who finishes the challenges, who throws it all up, as well as try authentic Austrian Cuisine!
