FunkyForty Secret “Züri Geschnetzlets”

Hi Everyone,

Züri Geschnetzlets has always fascinated me because of the mere fact that when you order it in a good restaurant in Switzerland you normally get 2 plates of it.

 It is the one dish I love so much that I will eat both plates. It really reminds me of Zurich and romantic dinners out. I make my own special version of it which includes chocolate. A trick I once learnt in a restaurant in Paris where they had a special slow cooked beef bourguignon dish cooked with chocolate – also amazing explosion of flavours.

This dish has a preparation and cooking time of approx. 40 mins.
