Preparation

FOR THE VEAL CUTLETS

Dredge the pounded veal cutlets in flour, then in the egg wash, then in the breadcrumbs. Shake off the excess coating. Heat a pan with 2 tablespoons of butter and pan-fry until you get a golden brown color on both sides of each cutlet.

FOR THE SMASHED FINGERLING POTATOES

Boil the potatoes until soft and let cool for a couple of hours.

When cool, smash them and then fry them in a pan with butter until crispy. Season with salt, pepper, fresh thyme, and chopped parsley.

FOR THE LINGONBERRY COMPOTE

Add lingonberries, lemon juice and zest, sugar, and water to a pot; bring to a boil and add cornstarch to thicken. Garnish with chopped mint leaves.

FOR THE CUCUMBER SALAD WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Blend all dressing ingredients, add julienned cucumber to a bowl, and season with blended vinaigrette. Add salt and pepper to taste.
