Traditional Zurich Ragout - One Of Switzerland’s Most Common Dishes

Zürcher Geschnetzeltes is the classic king of Zurich cuisine, though it's a dish with a relatively short history. It was only in a 1947 Swiss cookbook that the terms 'Zürich' and 'Geschnetzeltes' (or 'sliced') paired up for the first time - at the time without the mushrooms that are these days a must. These day, the dish can be found on the menu of almost every home-style Swiss restaurant.
Zürcher Geschnetzeltes is typically made with veal fillet, mushrooms, butter, shallots, white wine, bouillon, cream, sauce stock, and a little cognac. Veal kidneys are an optional addition. The meat is seared briefly, and then kept warm while a sauce is prepared from the other ingredients, which is finally pureed. This is then poured over the meat, and the whole dish is then typically served with rösti - potato pancakes.

Very underrated dish.

[@freudvibes10]

DW never disappoints.

[@shunaras]

He definitely looks good, is it the food? Then we should also be eating like Swiss, Fondue, Raclette, Geschnetzeltes, Rösti

[@christianbirkholz7934]

I think it is a German cook. The name Hering (Herring) is more common in the north of Germany. his accent could be from Brandenburg.

I really really really REALLY want to go to Switzerland.

Best fondue I've ever had. The people are reserved but helpful and each can speak at least 3 languages. I really enjoyed myself when I visited. It was in early November and chilly, not not snowy.

Port wine? Whipped cream? Broth????

This could be the most clumsy pronunciation of geschnetzeltes I've ever heard. You have a video from 2018 where it is pronounced correctly. How did you get this so wrong?

[@user-gu9yq5sj7c]

Just because people hear a word in a different language doesn't mean they can pronounce it. Can you pronounce every language right? Some English speakers can't even do other English accents.

I'm sure this tastes really good, but while watching the video I can't help but feel it's lacking some spice. A dash of garlic and paprika would do wonders.

[@rumoefz3252]

then you have a stroganof

[@leung9401]

He did add garlic (1:29 and 2:01). However, the original recipe in E. Pauli's "Lehrbuch der Küche" (textbook and standard reference in Swiss gastronomic vocational education) from 1967, which is one of the oldest references, calls for onions, salt, pepper, lemon juice, paprika, white wine, demi-glace or veal fond as well as heavy cream for the sauce, but no garlic. It also calls for 1/3 sliced veal flank, 1/3 sliced veal kidneys and 1/3 white button mushrooms. Some purists say it's not really "Zürcher Geschnetzeltes" without the kidneys. Most restaurants here in Zürich top it off with finely chopped parsley.

[@leung9401]

@@rumoefz3252 Not really. While the "frenchified" version of Stroganoff is almost identical to the preparation of Zürcher Geschnetzeltes except the meat - which is usually beef tenderloin, not veal flank - the sauce of the original Russian version is a roux with mustard, finished with a little bit of smetana, which is kind of a sour cream with a high fat content. The beef is seasoned with allspice and salt. No mushrooms, no paprika, not even onions. Completely different thing...

[@Trerax]

Looks bland to me needs more MSG!

[@queent3343]

Mushroom powder can be pretty salty.
