Add chopped parsley, 3 eggs (size M), some salt, pepper and grated nutmeg to the soaked bread roll cubes and mix everything well.

6

Shape and cook dumplings

Distribute the dumpling mixture as a strand (approx. 22 cm long, 7 cm Ø) on the long side of a moistened dish towel. Roll the mixture tightly and tie the ends together with kitchen twine. Place the roll in boiling salted water and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes. Turn the roll regularly.

Whisk 1 egg (size M). Pat the veal fillet (400 g, thin piece, approx. 5 cm Ø) dry and season with Fleur de Sel and Tellicherry Pepper. First turn the fillet in 2 tbsp wheat flour Type 405, then in egg and finally in the chip crumbs.

Fry veal fillet and cook in the oven

Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in an ovenproof pan. Fry the veal fillet in it for 5-6 minutes until golden brown, turning occasionally. Cook the fillet (possibly with a meat thermometer) in the preheated oven (electric oven: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 20 minutes (meat thermometer: core temperature of 65-70 °C).

12

Arrange and serve

Remove the finished veal fillet from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Cut the fillet into slices and arrange on a plate with the dumpling slices. Garnish with parsley. Pour 125 g cranberry sauce over the salad and serve with it.

About this recipe

This recipe for veal fillet with potato chip crust and napkin dumplings is a modern interpretation of classic Sunday dishes. I remember my grandmother used to spend hours in the kitchen conjuring up similar delicacies. This recipe is a tribute to that tradition, but with a modern twist and the help of the Thermomix® to simplify the process. The veal fillet, the heart of the dish, should be of good quality and not too thick so that it cooks evenly. The potato chip crust provides a surprising crunch and a slightly salty note that harmonizes perfectly with the tender meat. The napkin dumplings, prepared with bread rolls from the day before, are a wonderful way to use up old bread. The parsley brings freshness and the nutmeg a subtle spice. The cranberry sauce contributes a fruity sweetness that provides a nice contrast to the savory components. The Thermomix® plays a central role in the preparation of the napkin dumplings. Chopping the onions and heating the milk is effortless. Make sure to soak the bread roll cubes in the milk for long enough so that they become nice and soft. The dumpling mixture should not be too moist, otherwise the dumplings may fall apart during cooking. If the mixture is too moist, simply add some breadcrumbs. When cooking the dumpling roll, it is important that the water does not boil vigorously, but only simmers slightly. This way the dumplings stay nicely in shape. The potato chips should not be crumbled too finely, otherwise the crust will become too crumbly. For a vegetarian version, you could replace the veal fillet with large portobello mushrooms. These can also be breaded with the potato chip crust and baked in the oven. Instead of cranberry sauce, you could also serve lingonberry jam or a chutney. If you like it a little spicier, you can add a pinch of chili to the dumpling mixture. Serve the veal fillet with potato chip crust and napkin dumplings on preheated plates. A fresh lamb's lettuce with cherry tomatoes and red onions provides a light side dish. A dry red wine, such as a Pinot Noir, goes perfectly with this dish. The napkin dumplings can be prepared well in advance and stored in the refrigerator. However, they should be sliced before frying. The veal fillet should ideally be prepared fresh, as the crust will otherwise lose its crispness. However, leftover veal fillet can also be eaten cold or used for sandwiches.
