Older recipes include sliced veal kidneys alongside the veal, a detail most modern versions quietly drop.
Thin strips of veal, often with mushroom, are quickly seared, then finished in a light cream sauce with a splash of white wine. Zurich's food trucks and market-square stands now sell a takeaway version over a bed of Rösti or fries, portable rather than plated.
Why it's made this way: It became a Zürich restaurant classic in the 20th century, and its move into food trucks and takeaway boxes reflects the city's modern street-food scene adopting a classic.
