HOT POTATO
Place the sweet potato chunks in a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes.
QUICK PREP
Roughly slice the mushrooms. Drain and roughly chop the capers. Rinse and trim the green beans. Rinse and roughly chop the parsley.
A POP OF GREEN BEANS
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the trimmed green beans until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
LEMONY MASH
When the sweet potato is done, drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and toss through the roughly chopped capers, ½ of the chopped parsley and lemon juice (to taste).
GERMAN JAEGER SAUCE
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the sliced mushrooms until soft and golden, shifting as they colour, 3-4 minutes. Add the white wine and cook until almost evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Add the flour, and cook stirring constantly, 1-2 minutes. Add the stock, the cream and 50ml of water, adding more if necessary. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a sweetener (optional). Set aside and cover.
PERFECT SCHNITTY
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the schnitzel until golden and cooked through, 30-60 seconds per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter. Season.
GUTEN APPETIT
