VEGAN SCHNITZEL + POTATO SALAD
Today I tried a vegan version inspired by Austrian’s national dish. The typical potato salad is naturally vegan (if made with veggie broth) and made with a warm marinade of onion, oil, mustard, and vinegar. It’s also important to cook the potatoes with their peel. After peeling, slice them thinly and add them to the marinade while still warm. The plant-based Schnitzel is made from soy and is store-bought from Lidl. It’s really crispy, and quickly made in the air-fryer without adding any extra oil (around 10 minutes at 200 degrees C / 390 F).
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 450 g / 1lb potatoes
- 1/2 onion finely diced
- 2.5 tbsp neutral oil
- 1/3 cup veggie broth warm
- 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
- salt pepper, sugar to taste
- 1 tbsp chopped chives
Instructions
- Begin by boiling the potatoes with the peel. In the meantime heat oil over medium-high heat.
- Roast onions with salt until translucent. Add mustard.
- Give it a quick stir and add the veggie broth, vinegar, salt, pepper and sugar (if using, it’s part of the traditional recipe, but I made it without).
- If you can easily pierce a knife through the potatoes they are done. Let cool just enough to be able to touch them.
- Remove the peel with a knife and thinly slice (while still warm) directly into the warm marinade.
- Mix well and chives and season to taste.
- Let sit for 2 hours and enjoy. It of course can be prepared the day before as well. Enjoy!
