Hi Ruth,
Thanks for writing.
I found it in my brother's recipe collection. I'm not really into veal
because a friend told me that it is comparatively cruel to animals. I
like the idea of coming up with alternatives. Here's a recipe for Tofu
Schnitzel from recipesource.com
Some other folks in the house got out a waffle iron and started playing
a game called Will It Waffle? They put leftover homemade mashed
potatoes and freshly sauteed onions into the waffle batter, and then
topped them with shredded cheese and sour cream. To mine i added some
spicy mango pickle. I thought it was amazingly delicious.

1/3 c Whole wheat pastry flour

In a large frying pan, saute the tofu on both sides in the butter and

To prepare the sauce, place the butter and lemon juice in the frying
pan and cook over low heat just until the butter is melted. Stir to
combine and immediately pour over the tofu. Garnish with the capers.
