PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

LAST EDITED ON 10-02-09 AT 06:55 PM (EST)Honoring Octoberfest! Ok, so Breezy and I switched days, only I slept or something and forgot. Anyway - I don't have pics to post but will by Monday. Jagerschnitzel and spaetzle. Optional/additional side - fried potatoes. This recipe is double the sauce as my family loves the sauce over everything - if you don't just cut in half the quantities of everything from the green onions to the cream. Jagerschnitzel 4 boneless pork chops 1 egg flour bread crumbs 2 TBS oil 1 TBS butter 2 green onions, diced 1 lb mushrooms (mixed varieties), cleaned and sliced (I used a pound of white button, 1/2 lb sliced portabello, and 1/2 pound shitake, remember, I doubled the sauce) 1/4 cup dry white wine 1 cup cream or half and half 1 pinch paprika 1 pinch nutmeg 4 TBS fresh chives, chopped salt and pepper Pound each pork chop until thin. Dip first in salted and peppered flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Let sit for 15 minutes, or put in freezer for 10 minutes.
Heat oil and butter in frying pan. Brown schnitzel on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Keep warm. In separate pan fry onions until golden in butter and/or oil. Add salt and sliced mushrooms. Add white wine and cream. Simmer on low. Spice with pepper, paprika, nutmeg and salt. Add fresh chives before serving (optional). I use any white wine I have on hand and it's usually sweet and olive oil. You don't have to serve it with spaetzle and can substitute fried potatoes. I make both. Spaetzle The spaetzle is just 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup milk, 2 eggs, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp white pepper, 1/2 tsp salt. Mix, mash thru colander into bubbling salted water. When it floats it's done. Let drain on paper towels. When the whole batch is done and drained I saute it in browned butter and nutmeg for a bit. Good luck to all that's going to tweak to make healthier!  Shopping List Pork Chops Breadcrumbs Flour Green onions Chives Mushrooms Potatoes - only if doing a side of fried potatoes Eggs Milk Cream White Wine Paprika Nutmeg White Pepper Salt and Pepper

I'm not sure if I got the Spaetzle quite right, it came out a little thinner than bread dough and was tough to get through the colander, maybe my holes are a little small Lesson 1 - Do not put your colander on top of the pan of boiling water, the mix will cook and be tough to push through It was nice though, next time I may try deep frying it! The schnitzel was lovely, I have never tried nutmeg in it before. The sauce was gorgeous (I do something similar with no nutmeg and some brandy and call it stroganoff). Glad I cooked enough to chill it and put it over some chicken tomorrow  Thanks Tummy, a very nice meal.

A little thinner than bread dough sounds right. I checked youtube to see if there were any videos of spaetzle making - there are but they either use a spaetzle making device or a potato ricer. But the dough consistency is right.

I used my potato ricer, but they didn't really want to drop off that well so I got kind of little balls I cut off it with a knife.Still tasty. The sauce was particularly nice, I did the potatoes for last night with the fine julienne on the mandolin. They ended up a bit over done. I also steamed some cabbage to go with it and that went with the sauce very well. All and all a great start for the club!  Sigs by AgGhoul

Checking the pantry and making my shopping list and now I'm confoozed.You say: >This recipe is double the sauce as my family loves the sauce over everything - if you don't just cut in half the quantities of everything from the green onions to the cream. But then you say: 1 lb mushrooms (mixed varieties), cleaned and sliced (I used a pound of white button, 1/2 lb sliced portabello, and 1/2 pound shitake, remember, I doubled the sauce) I thought the amounts were already doubled? For 'shrooms, you gots 1 lb in the recipe, but 2 lbs in the brackets because you doubled it. *confuzzles*  Perpetual *headbutt* compliments of Rolly. Desperate Housecats

I did use my mandolin to slice the potatoes. I was tempted just to use the knife as I was already in slicing mode with the mushrooms. But when I got the mandolin Rob said I would use it once and then it would be tossed somewhere and forgotten. I make sure to use it at least once a month and I ALWAYS make sure to say loudly "I'm using my mandolin." *grin

LAST EDITED ON 10-05-09 AT 11:46 AM (EST)Was I alone in not knowing what a ricer was? I was looking at new kitchen stuff over the weekend as well (all I go was clingfilm, a potato peeler, and 10 little plastic boxes for the freezer). Now that you have mentioned it I think my Mother had one, although she never used it. However that could be RMS. It looks as though a collander (or at least mine) makes the spaetzele shorter!

I'm very excited to try this, too. I used up the pork chops I had in the freezer earlier last week, so I have to wait until I make a trip to the grocery store. Mr. Fro likes pork chops and I'm always trying to figure out new ways to prepare them. These pictures are making me hungry.

LAST EDITED ON 10-06-09 AT 10:55 AM (EST)OUCH! *flicques bacque* Can you see why I have trouble reading the amounts?  Okay, so the recipe is already doubled, and you quadrupled the shrooms. I think I'll just stick with the one pound (or 2.2 kg) of shrooms then. I'm askeered of the spaetzle, too. I watched some videos online of spaetle-making and I definitly like your colander idea more than the knife-flicky method that they do on some of the videos.

It's not our fault y'all chose the rest of the world instead of sticking with us. But then again you always had those crazy imperial gallons.

Make the spaetzle! It's really not hard - on a difficultness scale I'd give it a 1/2 a star with 5 stars being the hardest!

Unless your metal colander was left at the park in the sandbox *GRRRRRR* and you realize last minute that you have to use your thick-walled plastic colander with small holes. My forearms are still sore I am going to wimp out and get a spatzle maker. But, DH loved it (them?) so much it was worth the struggle.

FOUR THUMBS UP! It was worth the battle with the spatzel (not only did we not have a spatzel maker, I could not find our metal colander so had to use the thick plastic one with smaller holes. My arms are so sore! The kids are thrilled that I made enough for them so they can try the leftovers tomorrow. Definitely, definitely will invest in the spatzel maker (is it too early to post a secret santa wish list?)

M'kay, a couple of things. I used condensed skim milk for the sauce, whole wheat flour for the dredge and the spreatzel (sp?). Also, for the salt I used Windsor Half-salt. It tastes just like salt but has oodles of potassium and is great for reducing blood pressure. So while the fat content was not dropped too much I found other ways to healthy it up. The breaded pork was delish. I added more paprika than called for in the sauce. I was tempted to add more spice but wanted to cook it as is. I had a problem that I haven't encountered in years - my cream sauce separated. Not so bad that I had to use the whizzer but it was there. The noodles? I wasn't going to fry them afterwards to cut down on calories but they were too much like worms and I ended up frying them. I've always hated things like udon noodles and these were just on the cusp of that world for me. Once fried they were okay. I have a ton of dishes to do but the recipe was awesome and incredibly easy although somewhat time consuming if one gets home after 6 and wants to eat by 7:30. But I always take way longer on new recipes. compliments of agman's little shoppe of siggies

It's longer than what I get. Did you use a ricer? And it's browner, but I'm guessing that's from the frying. Hey, as long as it tastes guude.

I did something wrong I think. My sauce was not thick at all. Was it supposed to be? Also, I added a pinch or two of sugar to the sauce. And then I added the chops to the sauce because I thought that would help thicken it a bit. I liked it. I did not do the potatoes, I did a box of Noodle Roni for DH, and I just ate steamed corn on the cob with mine. It was very heavy for me: frying those chops, using whole cream. But it was good. Thanks Tummy!

83. "Where's the maid?" |
LAST EDITED ON 10-11-09 AT 07:56 PM (EST)I have a ton of dishes to do and my stove is a mess.  Tummy's Jaegerschnitzel gets FOUR THUMBS UP from the Weltek household. However, next time, I need to do it when Nolay can help me. And it's definitely a weekend dish for us. It took about 1.5 hours for prep and cooking, but would probably take less if I did it again. I was constantly going back to the recipe and such. I realized when I went to plate it that I wasn't even sure if the spatzele went on top or bottom, and if the sauce was to cover the pork and spatzele, or just one of those.  
Ingredient Substitutions -Leeks instead of green onions -Half & Half and skim milk instead of whipping cream -Butterflied boneless pork loin chops instead of regular chops Cooking Method Changes I "shake and bake" style made the pork in the oven to both make it a tad healthier and to free myself to focus on other components of the meal. I flour/egg/breadcrumbed per the recipe and popped onto a pan sprayed with cooking spray. Cooked for about 30 minutes at 375. Worked like a charm. Screw ups -I forgot to finish adding my half & half and milk mixture, and shorted the recipe by about half a cup. -I forgot to add the chives until we were starting to eat. -I forgot to let the butter start browning before sauteing the spatzele. Comments Spatzele is hard without a ricer or spaetzel press. I used my metal colander and it got hot-hot-hot! I finally got smart and used an oven mitt. My hand holding the colander also got sore. I was happy with efforts to "lighten" it up a bit (though not much). I also could've foregone the butter/oil for sauteing the onion & mushrooms, but I didn't want to push it. I wonder if egg substitute would've been good in the spatzele dough. I've used it for shake n'bake style pork before and it wasn't the greatest, though tolerable. Thanks, Tummy! -A Tribetastic Creation

My suggestions mirror weltek's. 1. We would go with cutting butterfly boneless chops in half, almost the thickness veal parm. 2. Also agree with weltek that the spaetzel is incredibly hard without a press. 3. Follow the recipe and use two pans when it comes to the sauce and the chops. We would suggest to start with the sauce first, the chops and spaetzel second. 4. Holy heck, be prepared to do some dishes! 5. If you are a mushroom hater, that's okay. Just pull the actual mushrooms out of the sauce when you go to serve yourself, it's still delicious. Finished product!!!!
Thank you, Tummy! That's something we never would have made on our own and it was DAMN fine food. It was also a nice way to spend a Sunday evening with my DH as he had a great time helping.

88. "Me too!" |
 I plated mine on my Fiestaware in honor of Tummy.
My hacks: I forgot to buy green onions so I used half of a sweet yellow onion, minced. I somehow managed to remember the decorative chives, but not the green onion. *sigh* I didn't make spaetzel. I like spaetzel, and I've made spaetzel before, I just didn't feel like making it. I also didn't think about boiling the water for it until too late, which was also a contributing factor to my not making it. I did make green beans and I dressed them in lemon, butter and garlic. I even put decorative little strips of lemon zest on the finished product. The lemon helped cut the richness of the mushroom sauce a little. I used half and half instead of heavy cream. I don't like to pound meat. *waits while the snickers die down* I really don't - I don't like the noise or the feeling of the meat-squish. So I took the chops and butterflied them instead and was very pleased with the result. I made potatoes, but I didn't fry them. I sliced them, dressed them in olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic, and then spread them on a cookie sheet and baked them in the oven. I didn't want to mess up another pan. Speaking of pans, I did the one-pan method. I did the chops first, then removed them and did the onions, mushrooms, and sauce in the same pan. I liked it - I don't think I'd do it in two pans. This was delicious. Mr. Fro loved it, too. The chops were juicy and tasted great and the sauce was wonderful. I will absolutely make it again! Thanks, Tummy! That picture is of my plate and yes, I ate all of it.

I thought about doing one pan, but it was already too late.And speaking of pounding the meat (*snicker), I actually didn't have to. Our grocer sells think chops. Once I saw Tummy's picture, I knew I was okay with the thin chops. Lemon zest? I nominate yours as fanciest.  Samboobree, brought to life by Arkie

Sorry about your loss, Kachita. I have a friend who is getting hit with his second wave of swine flu. It didn't hit him hard the first time. He tried going back to work today (was fine yesterday), and ended up going home early.I think this yummy recipe can be lightened up. The pork can be made shake-n-bake style with egg beaters, even. Not as divine, but I did it with real egg and it was very good. MC made the sauce with fat free condensed milk. Again, not as decadent and harder to hold together, but it worked. The spaetzel could be sauteed in light butter. I challenge you! Obviously not right now, though! -A Tribetastic Creation
