Prepare 4 Schnitzels . Go here for a detailed step by step recipe with pictures.
My suggestion is that you make them 5 oz schnitzels for a nice presentation that will fill the plate.
The Schnitzels can be marinated in lemon juice or buttermilk for an hour or two. for extra tenderness.
Bread the Schnitzels with a bread crumb mixture. Go here to get an idea of How to Bread a Schnitzel, and there are a variety of different breadings you can use.
Fry the Schnitzels golden brown in a good quality oil like corn oil or olive oil.
Drain on paper towels.

I like to use Crimini mushrooms, which are on your left, and for fun I bought some specialty mushrooms
Enokie and Oyster mushrooms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Wipe off the mushrooms with a towel. This is better than washing them. |
Slice the mushrooms. Quarter the mushrooms instead if you want. |
 Put the mushrooms in a nice pile.
Cut the onions or shallots and garlic and place on the plate also. |

Melt butter and then add the olive oil in a large frying pan. I use unsalted butter because it burns less. The olive oil keeps it from burning also. |
 Add the garlic, onion or shallot , thyme and mushroom slices and cook till tender and lightly browned. |
Add the flour and cook 1 minute. |
a |
 Add the red wine and stock and bring back to a simmer. |
 Stir till smooth. Add the Paprika
If it isn't thick as much as you want mix 2 tablespoons of flour with 1 / 4 cup of water and add a little at a time to the simmering sauce in a thin stream whisking constantly till thickened. |
Blend some of the sour cream with a little of the sauce in a stainless bowl. this is called tempering the sour cream so it doesn't get shocked with the boiling stock and break. |
Here is the nice sauce, I use a slotted spoon to make sure I get enough mushrooms when I top the Schnitzel. Then I can add more sauce if needed. |
 I dunk the specialty mushrooms , (Enoki and Oyster mushrooms ) in salted simmering water. |
 I top the Schnitzel with the nice specialty mushrooms for service. |
