Recipes

Traudl usually just makes up recipes as she’s cooking, depending upon what garden ingredients are available, the time of year, and what kind of weather we’re having. We asked her to go back and try to reconstruct those dishes for this website and we'll add them to this section, as well as sending the latest ones out in each newsletter! We hope you enjoy preparing them, and please email Traudl with any questions!

Wiener Schnitzel

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds veal cutlet, boneless (4 pieces)*
Salt & Pepper to taste
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup bread crumbs (plain or Italian)
About 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
4 slices of lemon
* for those who don’t eat veal, chicken breasts also work well with this recipe.

Place the meat between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet until 1/2” thick. (If using chicken instead of veal, cut the chicken breast in half first, otherwise it will be too thick to start with). Season with salt and pepper. Coat the cutlets with flour.

Mix the eggs and milk and dip the meat into the mixture, then place each into the breadcrumbs to coat. Coat each side with breadcrumbs and then make sure to press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the meat.
Melt the butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded schnitzel until browned - about 3-4 minutes on each side.

Garnish the schitzel with a lemon slice on each and serve with roasted potatoes and a green salad.
And a slightly chilled glass of 2005 Huber Chardonnay!

Traudl’s Harvest Soup

Enjoy with 2004 Estate Dornfelder

This soup was something Traudl made up one evening, when our good friend Bob Senn came to dinner. When Bob asked for the recipe, Traudl “reverse engineered” the soup! Delicious and warming in Autumn and Winter.

Ingredients:
4 cups fat-free chicken broth
2 pounds cut up carrots
3 medium potatoes
2 cups acorn squash, softened in the microwave
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon honey
2 bouillon cubes (chicken)
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Cook all until soft. Remove bay leaves. Add 2 cups low-fat milk, and then puree. Soup’s on!
Serves 12.

Munich Applestrudel

Great with 2004 Estate Chardonnay, and also wonderful after a hearty meal with Cheese and 2004 Estate Dornfelder

Strudel Dough
1/2 pound Flour
2 eggs
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup warm water

Mix all together and then let rest for 1/2 hour. Cut dough in half and roll out on a floured cloth and then pull out to very thin with the back of your hands.

Filling
3 pounds tart apples
juice of one lemon
5 ounces of raisins soaked in 5 tablespoons rum
3 ounces butter
1 cup sourcream
sugar mixed with cinnamon to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel, core and finely slice the apples, sprinkle with lemon juice. Brush dough with melted butter, dab sourcream over the butter and distribute evenly. Spread apples over the dough, then spread the raisins and cinnamon-sugar; keep the filling about 1 inch from the edge of the dough. Rollup loosely with the help of the floured cloth. Slide the strudel into a well buttered 10x14 inch casserole dish; proceed in the same manner with the second strudel. Bake on the middle rack of the oven. After about 20 minutes pour about a cup of hot milk over the strudel and bake another 40 minutes. When done baking, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve either hot or cold.
Serves 4 to 6

Sauerbraten

Sauerbraten is prepared in an entirely different way then regular beef.

Vinegar & red wine marinade
11/2 cups red wine vinegar
11/2 cups red wine
11/2 cups water and a little salt
8 peppercorns
3 bay leaves
4 whole cloves
2 onions, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
1/2 cup celery root, finely chopped

Bring all ingredients to a boil, let simmer for 10 minutes then cool.

2lb beef (flat shoulder)
black pepper
1 tbs vegetable oil
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
1/4celery root, coarsely chopped
3 tbs. flour
1 cup sour cream

Pour the marinade over the beef, cover and place in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Pour the vegetable oil into a roasting pan and place in oven.

Remove the meat from the marinade (save the marinade!) and pat dry, then rub with freshly ground pepper. Place the meat in the heated roasting pan and allow to brown. Reduce the heat to 420 degrees and add the vegetables.

Heat the marinade and use to baste the meat as needed; roasting time is about 90 minutes.

Remove and carve the meat and vegetables, then scrape up the pan juices and thicken with flour. Add sour cream, season to taste and serve separately.

Serve with potato pancakes, noodles or mashed potatoes.
