  • 4 thin turkey escalopes (approx. 150 g each)
  • 4-6 Tsp Pesto (glass)
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Sugar
  • 8 fine slices
  • 7-10 Tbsp Parma ham
  • 1 collar (approx. 750 g) Carrots
  • 1 Organic Lemon
  • 1⁄2 bunch/pot of basil
  • 2-3 TABLESPOONS Oil
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Butter
  • 7-10 Tbsp Freezer bag
  • 8 little wooden skewers

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash the cutlets, dab dry and halve each cutlet crosswise. If necessary, place between two layers of a freezer bag and tap flatter with a flattening iron or a pot bottom. Spread each cutlet thinly with pesto, season with pepper and cover with 1 slice of ham.

  2. 2

    Fold over the cutlets and pin them down.

  3. 3

    Clean the carrots, possibly leaving some green. Peel or wash carrots thoroughly and halve them if necessary. Steam in little boiling salted water covered with 1 pinch of sugar for 10-12 minutes.

  4. 4

    Wash the lemon hot, dry and grate the peel. Squeeze 1 lemon half. Wash basil, shake dry and pluck off the leaves.

  5. 5

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Fry the escalopes in it in portions on each side for 2-3 minutes.

  6. 6

    Drain the carrots and put them back into the pot. Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of sugar on top and lightly caramelise while turning. Add butter, lemon juice, lemon zest and basil to the carrots. Swivel everything through.

  7. 7

    Remove the schnitzel from the pan. Dissolve the frying set with 3-4 tablespoons of water and drizzle over the escalopes. Serve with the lemon carrots. Gnocchi or roast potatoes taste good with it. Drink tip: dry white wine.
