Schnitzel without meat?
This recipe doesn't contain any meat substitutes, instead it's made from delicious vegetables.
Not only vegetarians like it.
Celeriac is not the best-known vegetable, as it is often sold in bundles for soup greens along with carrots, leeks and parsley. But
celeriac
can do even more! The tuber contains a lot of iron, calcium, magnesium and various vitamins. For example, it can be processed into a delicious puree or makes a delicious
vegetable
side dish . But not only that: the root vegetables can also be the main actor on the plate in the form of
schnitzels
be transformed.
Due to its spicy taste and firm structure, it is an excellent substitute for meat.
Simply pre-cook, bread and fry like meat slices.
The vegetarian pleasure is ready.
The good thing: Even if the main season for celery is in the cold season, it is still available in Germany all year round.
So you can prepare delicious schnitzel all year round - without any meat substitutes, not all of which do well in the Ökotest.*
