III. For the Fries<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    I. Prepare the Paprika Sauce<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Saut\u00e9 Aromatics:<\/strong> In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent ($5 \\text{ minutes}$). Add the sliced bell peppers and cook until tender-crisp ($5 \\text{ minutes}$). Add the minced garlic and cook for $1 \\text{ minute}$.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Bloom Spices:<\/strong> Stir in the tomato paste, sweet paprika, and hot paprika. Cook for $1 \\text{ minute}$\u2014this “blooming” step intensifies the flavor of the spices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Simmer:<\/strong> Deglaze the pan with the broth, scraping up any browned bits. Add the cream, sugar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let the sauce thicken slightly ($5 \\text{ minutes}$). Keep warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      II. Prepare the Schnitzel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Pound:<\/strong> If your cutlets are thick, cover them with plastic wrap and gently pound them to about $3 \\text{ mm}$ thickness. Season lightly with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Breading Station:<\/strong> Set up a standard breading station:\n
          \n
        • Plate 1: Flour<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Plate 2: Beaten Eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Plate 3: Breadcrumbs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Bread:<\/strong> Dip each cutlet first in the flour (shaking off excess), then in the egg (ensuring full coverage), and finally press gently into the breadcrumbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Fry:<\/strong> Heat the oil or clarified butter in a large skillet until a breadcrumb immediately sizzles and turns golden. Fry the schnitzels in batches for $2 \\text{ to } 3 \\text{ minutes}$ per side<\/strong>, until golden brown and crispy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Drain:<\/strong> Remove the schnitzels and drain excess fat on a rack or paper towels. Season immediately with a touch more salt.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          III. Assemble the Plate<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Fries:<\/strong> While the schnitzel is resting, cook your fries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Serve:<\/strong> Place a crispy schnitzel on each plate. Spoon a generous amount of the warm Paprika Sauce over the schnitzel (or serve it on the side, traditionally). Add a generous portion of golden fries next to the schnitzel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
