Sweet baby Jesus you lot are filthy Schweinhunt pigdogs.

I'll bring it back from wieners to proper German food.

Tonight, we had chicken schnitzels with thick-cut chips, garden peas and Zigeuner sauce. Basically the best sauce I have ever made.

No pics - I was running late and just didn't have time.

I'm intrigued, what does that consist of?

See below/above

Basically, slice everything very thinly, fry everything in butter (high heat for onions, then medium for everything else) and reduce until it is really thick. The sauce is just amazingly good. I'm a real chilli head, so I really had to resist the temptation to overload it with heat, on my boss Christian's advice, and I'm really glad I did.

It's going to be a regular sauce in our house with chicken or pork.

Do you like a bit of Christian’s whatever it is with your peas mate? ?

Wrong meal, mate. Today's offering was Stoofvlees (Flemish stew). 

As for the peas, I got a bit heavy-handed.
