German Hunter's Schnitzel and Spaetzle

I have been sick the past several days so I haven't been posting.  This particular meal may be hard for others to make, but I thought I would post it anyway because it was so yummy just in case you can find the seasoning packet. You can also order it online for a fair price. I purchased this one at the Redstone Arsenal Commissary (Army grocery store) in Huntsville, AL.  Some grocery stores that have a larger foreign foods section may carry this seasoning package.  I  have not looked for it before at World Market. I always had thought schnitzel meant breaded and pan fried, but this recipe just called to take pork cutlets or pork chops, I used boneless pork ribs because they were on sale, and just to bake them in the oven with the sauce poured over it.

GERMAN HUNTER'S SCHNITZEL

1 package Maggi Hunter's Schnitzel seasoning mix ($1.25)

1 package spaetzle

1 lb. pork, veal, or turkey portions

1 package sliced button mushrooms

2 cups heavy whipping cream (try to use no-fat)

1 tsp. chopped parsley

I sort of followed the directions on the package.  The package only called for 1 cup of cream but I thought the sauce was way too thick so I added an additional cup and some extra parsley.  The recipe calls for you to saute the mushrooms in a pan and to add the seasoning package and cream to the pan until it simmers.  In a small casserole dish, place washed and dried meat, pour the sauce over top, and bake at 400 for 30 minutes. I found that I needed to bake it for 50 minutes and served it over spaetzle.  Delicious!
