This looks alot like a German dish. When we were in Germany they made this in almost every place you went. So very good too.

They would add mushrooms and gravy on top of theirs. Yum, yum……

This sounds so good. I have seen these at the stores (premade) and they were too pricey, but now I think I will try to make it! Thanks!

You’re making my mouth water. Used to fix these occasionally, haven’t caught any veal on sale for a long time. May just have to bite the bullet and get some.

Quick and delicious. Thanks for posting.

This recipe reminds me of Dh’s mother (she was from Germany) she used to make this all the time. Oh so good–wish she was still here. I’ll have to make this for Dh, haven’t made it in soo long.
