If you don’t have white wine, don’t fear! Use red wine (as I did, pictured), even beer or apple cider would be excellent. If you don’t have that, even 30 mL of wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar would do the trick.

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the mushroom sauce by sautéing the mushrooms, shallot and garlic in the butter. Generously season with salt and pepper, then add Dijon mustard, white wine, and cream, and reduce until the sauce coats the back of your spoon. Turn off the heat for now.

Step 2

Simultaneously prepare the spätzle in boiling water, and the plant based schnitzels either in the oven or a frying pan, using the instructions on each packet. They should take roughly the same amount of time. When the spätzle are ready, drain them and stir through the butter and chives.

Step 3

Reheat the sauce if needed, and serve the schnitzel, spätzle, with the sauce poured over part of both, and the sauerkraut off to the side for accompaniment.
