🇨🇭 Switzerland recipe

Zuercher Geschnetzeltes

Zurich's signature dish is an exercise in elegant simplicity. Thin strips of premium veal are seared at blazing heat, then bathed in a luscious sauce of white wine, veal stock, and cream enriched by earthy mushrooms. The key is speed: the veal must be cooked in small batches to maintain color and tenderness, never stewing in its own juices. Served atop a golden roesti, it is Swiss comfort dining at its finest.
