  • ⅔ cup of onions (chopped)

  • 1lb of mushrooms (sliced)

  • 2 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 cup of water

Directions:

1) Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

3) Place cutlets into a skillet and fry until golden brown (1-2 minutes on each side).

4) Remove the meat from the skillet and drain on paper towels; keep the meat warm in the oven while making the gravy.

5) Saute bacon and onions until golden brown; add tomato paste and mushrooms, and saute over low heat until mushrooms are cooked; add wine, water, and seasonings; let simmer for about 5 minutes.

6) Stir in the cornstarch/cream mixture; simmer till thickened, pour gravy over Schnitzel before serving.
