Peri Peri Turkey Schnitzel - How To Make

How To Make Peri Peri Turkey Schnitzel

This is my take on a Wiener Schnitzel.

Wien is the German word for Vienna. Schnitzel is the German word for meat cutlets, usually Veal, thinly sliced or pounded flat, breaded and pan fried.


Method & Ingredients
Take a couple of slices of Turkey breast.
Place on a board and cover with plastic wrap to prevent meat juices splashing all over the place.
Beat flat with a meat mallet or a rolling pin.


To Pane the meat, first season plain flour with salt and pepper and dust the meat in the flour.
This will allow the beaten egg to stick to the floured meat.
Now dip this into the breadcrumbs that had a tablespoon of Peri Peri seasoning added to it.
This will make a nice, spicy breadcrumb crust, when you fry the meat in a heavy based skillet or frying pan.

It only takes a couple of minutes on each side and the meat is cooked.



Serve with a nice German or Austrian potato salad.

Lemon Frosted Carrot Cake - How To Make a Zingy Lemon Frosted Carrot Cake

How to make zingy Lemon frosted Carrot Cake

Ingredients
Carrot Cake:-
250 Grams of Soft Brown Sugar
250 Ml Sunflower Oil
375 Grams of Self Raising Flour
3 Eggs
500 Grams of Carrots coarsely grated
150 Grams Walnuts
2 Teaspoons Mixed Spice
1/2 Teaspoon of Bicarbonate of Soda (rising agent)

Frosting:-
Zest of 1 Lemon
30 Grams of Soft Butter
80 Grams of Cream Cheese (make sure it is full fat cheese)
250 Grams of Icing Sugar

Method:-
Line the sides and bottom of a cake tin 22 centimetres in circumference with greaseproof paper.
Grate the Carrots. Chop or crush Walnuts.
Cream together the Sugar and Eggs and Oil.
Sift Flour, Bicarbonate of Soda, and the Mixed Spice into a bowl. Add the chopped Walnuts.
Add the wet mixture, making sure to fold in the flour, so as not to over work and stretch the Gluten in the flour.
Pour into the lined cake tin and bake in the centre of a moderate oven for 1hr 15 minutes to 1hr 30 minutes or until cooked. (Set the oven temperature around 160-180 degrees centigrade depending on the type of oven used).
Use a clean knife or skewer to poke into the cake and if it comes out clean the cake is cooked. If you can see uncooked cake batter, return to the oven for a further 10 minutes and recheck with the knife/skewer.
Leave to cool before removing from the cake tin and place on a wire rack to remove the greaseproof paper.
Mix the Lemon zest, Icing Sugar, Butter and Cream Cheese to make the frosting. Use a Spatula or a Palate Knife to spoon over the cake and smooth out.
Add more crushed Walnuts or add some zest of a Lemon to finish the decoration, although this is optional and not a necessary.
