Calculation basis
Item weights and household measures are estimated. Unless specified: milk with 1.5% fat, cream with 30% fat and Gouda cheese. Optional ingredients, small amounts of seasoning and separately listed side dishes are excluded. For imprecise entries, the amounts below and comparable reference products are assumed. For alternatives, the first listed ingredient is used. Cooking losses have not been measured.
Calculated estimate using the reference foods below. Substitute products, item weights and consumed fractions are assumptions. Ordinary cooking oil and marinades are counted in full; frying oil, coatings, bones and whole roasts use the stated factors. The higher serving count is used for ranges. Actual product values and cooking losses have not been measured. Varying only the listed quantity assumptions gives 680–750 kcal per unit stated above. This is neither a measured range nor a statistical confidence interval.

Ingredients
- 4 thin beef schnitzels, each 120 g
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs for breading
- 4 eggs for fried eggs
- 300 g potatoes
- 250g rice
- 500 ml water
- 2 tomatoes (250 g)
- 1 red onion (100 g)
- 10 g parsley
- 45 ml oil
- 1 lime
- Salt, pepper
Instructions
- Cover and cook the rice with 500 ml of water and a little salt for 12-15 minutes, then let it rest.
- Cut potatoes into thin slices, pre-cook for 5 minutes, drain and dry; Then fry in about 20 ml oil until golden brown.
- Pound the beef schnitzel very thinly, season, coat in two beaten eggs and breadcrumbs.
- Fry the schnitzel completely in 20 ml oil for 2-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness; drain on kitchen paper.
- Dice tomatoes, red onion and parsley small, mix with lime juice and salt. Fry four fried eggs in the remaining oil until the whites and yolks are completely set.
- Put the rice and potatoes on a plate, place the schnitzel on top, put the fried egg on top and serve the salsa next to it.
Tips
- The particularly thin flesh creates the characteristically large, flat Silpancho shape.
- Food safety: Schnitzel thickness determines the length of frying, not just the number of minutes.
- Technique: Germany: Beef shell/roulade meat pounded thin; Egg and breadcrumbs make this a clearly designated home version.
