Zurich Veal with Smashed Potatoes
I made a whole dish the other night by two zaar members. I did not make the veal exactly as stated, as the recipe did call for veal and pork and for it to be cut into strips. I live in Switzerland and I have seen a dish like this, it is usually served over rosti, which is great. I had some veal scalappine slices of meat to use and since I knew the sauce would work with them I made this as a sauce to top meat. It was really delicious and myself and my husband thoroughly enjoyed it, I served it with another members recipe of smashed potatoes which were awesome. I will list the links to view these recipes or to see more reviews or photo’s, under each persons recipe.
