Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

or robber casserole

Season the schnitzels with salt and pepper, then fry them in a little oil in a pan until crispy and brown. Remove and keep warm. Dice the onion and fry in the same pan until translucent, then add the diced bacon or ham and fry briefly. Add the pepper strips, roast for a few minutes, and then add the mushrooms (thinly sliced ​​or quartered, depending on your taste). Sauté until almost all of the liquid has evaporated from the mushrooms. Season the mixture with salt and pepper and plenty of paprika. Then dust the mixture with 1-2 tablespoons of flour, stir briefly, and deglaze with beer or white wine. Add the heavy cream and simmer until a creamy sauce forms. Season to taste; it should be quite spicy (but it doesn’t have to be). Crush the garlic and add it with the parsley, then return the meat to the pan and simmer for about 20 minutes over very low heat. Instead of returning the schnitzels to the pan, you can place them in a casserole dish and pour the sauce over them. Sprinkle the dish with grated Gouda cheese, for example, and bake the whole thing in the oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes. This creates a robber’s casserole. A variety of side dishes go well with this dish: potatoes in any form (mashed potatoes, hash browns, fried potatoes, etc.), rice, tagliatelle, and a green salad also go very well with it.
