simple and delicious

Brown the schnitzels (breaded if desired—I leave them unbreaded) in hot oil and season generously with salt, pepper, paprika, and schnitzel seasoning salt. Remove the meat from the pan and sauté the onion, garlic, and finely chopped vegetables in the meat broth. Deglaze with vegetable broth and a little vinegar (from the pickles), then simmer the vegetables until tender. Return the meat to the pan. Finally, remove the meat from the pan again and stir in the paprika sauce. Thicken the sauce with a sauce thickener (you can choose whichever you prefer—I use locust bean gum in this case, as it has no calories or carbs). Serve with a salad of your choice and French fries.
