Orange and Lemon Schnitzel Rolls Recipe

Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 3

Ingredients:

• 3 beef schnitzel
• 2 lemon, rind of
• 1 bunch spring onions
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 turns of fresh black pepper
• 2 tablespoons spice plum sauce
• 1 handful parsley
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Schnitzel:

   • Take the beef schnitzel and using a meat mallet, beat them to an even thickness. Cut each schnitzel in half to make more manageable pieces.

2. Create the Crumb Mixture:

   • In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs with the grated rind of lemon and orange. This aromatic mix will infuse the schnitzel with citrusy goodness.

3. Add Freshness with Spring Onions:

   • Finely slice the spring onions, adding a layer of freshness to the crumb mixture. It not only enhances the flavor but also adds a delightful crunch.

4. Mix and Roll:

   • Combine the crumb mixture with orange juice, salt, and pepper. Spread this mixture evenly over the schnitzel halves. Roll up the schnitzels like parcels, securing them with toothpicks if needed.

5. Arrange in Oven Dish:

   • Place the rolled schnitzels side by side in a greased oven dish. This ensures even cooking and a beautifully presented final dish.

6. Prepare the Plum Sauce Glaze:

   • Mix spice plum sauce with extra orange juice to create a luscious glaze. Pour this over the schnitzels, ensuring each roll is generously coated.

7. Bake to Perfection:

   • Cover the oven dish and bake at 180°C for 40 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to tenderize. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.

8. Garnish with Parsley:

   • Sprinkle a handful of fresh parsley over the schnitzels before serving. This adds a burst of color and a hint of herbaceousness.

9. Serving Suggestion:

   • As a delightful note, the plum sauce and orange juice mixture can be heated and drizzled over fried sausages. A versatile sauce that elevates other dishes!

10. Cheers from Doreen Randal, Wanganui, New Zealand:

• Doreen recommends using veal schnitzel instead of beef for a more tender result. She also suggests trying the plum sauce and orange juice mixture over fried sausages, as it complements them perfectly.
