Ingredients for 4 portions

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the potatoes in hot water until soft. Keep 1 cup of the potato water.

  2. 2

    Drain the potatoes and add 1 tablespoon of butter, salt, pepper, a pinch of nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of milk, and 1/2 cup of the reserved potato water.

  3. 3

    Mix well to create a smooth mash. Add more water or milk if needed for desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Add peas and carrots to the mix. In a separate pot, combine 1/2 cup of vegetable stock, 1 teaspoon of butter, salt, pepper, and a pinch of curry.

  5. 5

    Tenderize the meat by gently beating it until thin.

  6. 6

    Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

  7. 7

    Coat both sides of the meat in the following order: flour mixture, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.

  8. 8

    In a pan, melt enough butter to cover the bottom. Heat the pan over medium heat. Place the coated veal escalopes in the pan and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

  9. 9

    While frying, spoon some hot fat over the meat using a tablespoon. After 2 to 3 minutes, flip the meat to the other side and repeat the spooning of hot fat. The escalopes are ready when they acquire a nice golden color.
