Geschnetzeltes
Pork Strips Simmered with Mushrooms
in Sour Cream Gravy

This dish is similar to Stroganoff only made with pork or veal.
The word Geschnetzeltes Ge-Schnet-zel- tess means sliced meat in German. However this dish is also tied to Switzerland, and has a connection with Germany, that I don't fully understand. This is a bit different to Stroganoff in that to finish the dish you hit it with lemon peel, or lemon juice and parsley. If you want to prepare this in the Swiss fashion serve it with Roesti. If you want German serve it with Spaetzle.

I had so much trouble pronouncing this word I had to try and find an image to help me.

So I think Schnitzel or say Schnetzel ....I put the Ge before it and the Tess after it and now I can remember it easy.

Ge- SCHNETZEL-tess

It certainly is a nice dish to have in our back pocket because you can prepare it quickly and simply and it is good comfort food most everyone enjoys.

Directions:


Cut the Pork into Strips by slicing small 1/2 inch steaks then slice it into strips.

The strips Should be very thin. Especially if you use a tougher cut of meat, this will increase the tenderness.

1/4 inch dice the onions and slice the mushrooms and stage on a plate.

Saute the onions and garlic in 2 tablespoons oil till tender, then add the mushrooms and saute till lightly brown. Reserve back to plate

Add more oil then saute the pork strips with the paprika till lightly brown.

Add the onions and mushrooms.

Next add water or stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes.

Add some of the slurry and cook 5 minutes to thicken. Add a bit more if too thin.It will continue to thicken a little as it cooks. Next mix some of the sauce in a bowl with the sour cream or yogurt and then blend into the sauce. This tempers the sour cream and won't separate which often happens if you blend in too cold.

Serve with Spaetzle or noodles like my grandmother's home made noodles
