Thursday Night: Wienerschnitzel and assorted veggies

We got a CSA box on Wednesday and last night we started working on eating our way through it. :-)

To get things started I made a big pot of green garlic [CSA] soup following a recipe from CPV (a new cookbook). That is one fine soup, and not just because it's full of butter.

The main dish was Wienerschnitzel made with pork instead of veal. I pounded out halved loin chops; seasoned them with salt, pepper, and cayenne; breaded them with flour, egg, then bread crumbs; fried them quickly in butter; and served them with lemon wedges. Very tasty.

Veggie sides were long-cooked broccoli (also from a CPV recipe) and caramelized carrots with cream (I made this up, see the next post). Both the broccoli and carrots were [CSA]. The broccoli was good, but not great. The carrots were *amazing*.

We also had a [CSA] green salad.
