Frankfurter schnitzel is a traditional dish originating from Frankfurt. The dish is very similar to the famous Wiener schnitzel, which is always made with veal, but this version from Frankfurt can be prepared with other types of meat such as pork.
The meat is pounded thin, coated with flour, dipped in beaten eggs, and dredged in breadcrumbs before it's fried in clarified butter (or a mixture of oil and butter) on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Once done, frankfurter schnitzel is traditionally served with grüne soße (green sauce), and often boiled potatoes and chopped hard-boiled eggs on the side.
It's recommended to squeeze some lemon juice over the schnitzel before eating, while Apfelwein is the preferred accompanying beverage.
MAIN INGREDIENTS
Rahmschnitzel is a German meat dish. It's usually prepared with a veal cutlet, but pork or chicken can be used instead, if preferred. Other ingredients include flour, butter, white wine, heavy cream, and herbs such as parsley and chives. The meat is tenderized and seasoned, then rolled in flour and fried in butter until golden brown.
White wine is added to the pan in order to form a sauce with heavy cream and a bit of sugar. When done, each cutlet is topped with the gravy and garnished with chopped chives or parsley. Traditionally, this dish is served with spaetzle, but pasta or potatoes are also welcome additions regarding side dishes.
MAIN INGREDIENTS
Münchner schnitzel is an interesting variety on the world-famous Wiener schnitzel. This is a Munich-style variety, hence the name of the dish. The veal cutlets are brushed with a combination of sweet mustard and horseradish before they're coated in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs, then fried in butter.
The dish is ready to be eaten when the meat becomes golden brown. It's traditionally served hot with lemon wedges on the side.
MAIN INGREDIENTS
This German dish is a variation of the well-known Wiener schnitzel that originated sometime in the late 19th century. Though it appears in slightly different regional variations, Holstein schnitzel predominantly consists of a breaded and lightly fried veal cutlet that comes served with various additions.
A fried egg is always served on top of the schnitzel, while other additions traditionally include smoked salmon, caviar, sardines, capers, or anchovies. The dish is said to have been created at a Berlin restaurant Borchardt’s, and many believe it was named after a German statesman Friedrich von Holstein rather than the Holstein region.
MAIN INGREDIENTS
Zigeunerschnitzel is a German specialty consisting of a thin, breaded, and pan-fried veal cutlet (but pork, or chicken can also be used) that is finished with a spicy sauce on top just before serving. This schnitzel was named after the sauce it is topped with, which is called zigeuner sauce or gypsy sauce and is typically made with a combination of bell peppers of different colors, onions, tomato paste or tomatoes, mushrooms, wine, water, broth, and spices such as sweet and hot paprika.
In Germany, the dish is not a common home-cooked meal but a typical food item that can be enjoyed at restaurants, cafeterias, and food stalls. Zigeunerschnitzel is usually accompanied by sides such as french fries, salzkartoffeln (salt potatoes), and salads, but it also pairs well with rice or spätzle.
