This is so delicious (and it's really Swiss, not German, but there wasn't a Swiss cuisine so I selected the closest possible match). This version is different than other recipes of the same title in that it uses wine and cream that produces a delectable creamy sauce. Traditionally, the recipe calls for veal and veal kidney, but pork loin and chicken can be used in place of veal. It's usually served with Swiss Rosti (hash brown or pan-fried potatoes) and paired with a Swiss white wine or Pinot grigio.
