Béchamel is known as one of the French mother sauces, but it has been at home in Arab cooking for generations. In Egypt and the Levant it goes into baked pasta, vegetable and minced meat dishes, and if you grew up with this food, you’ll know it on a schnitzel too. Ours comes with mushrooms and a hint of nutmeg.

It’s all about the sauce

The chicken schnitzel itself is the same as our panée: tender, with a golden coating. On top goes a creamy béchamel with finely sliced mushrooms, and a hint of nutmeg gives it warmth. The sauce covers every slice, so you get crunch and cream in one bite.

Balance on the plate

Because the sauce is rich, the sides are deliberately fresh: coleslaw, steamed vegetables and lemon. Plus fries and a garlic dip.

Which schnitzel?

Chicken Schnitzel Panée: plain, no sauce, just lemon.
Chicken Schnitzel à la Béchamel: with mushroom béchamel – the creamiest of the three.
Chicken Schnitzel au Fromage: topped with melted cheese.

To start

A fresh salad is the right way to open before a creamy main – a small fattoush or small tabbouleh, for instance. If there are a few of you, share a small mixed starter platter.

Good to know

What is béchamel sauce?

A white sauce from French cooking, thickened with butter and flour and made with milk. We add mushrooms and nutmeg.

Is the meat halal?

Yes, all the meat at Dunya is halal.

Does the coating stay crispy under the sauce?

The sauce softens the top, but the coating underneath stays firm. That contrast between creamy and crunchy is what the dish is all about.

What sides does it come with?

Fries, steamed vegetables, fresh lemon, coleslaw and a garlic dip – the same as all three of our schnitzels.
