Veal saltimbocca
This rustic Italian dish combines tender veal, salty prosciutto and earthy sage.

Ingredients (6)

  • 4 x 130g veal escalopes (for schnitzel)
  • 4 slices prosciutto, halved widthways
  • 16 small sage leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 40g unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (250ml) white wine

Method

  • 1.
    Place each veal escalope between plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until about 5mm thick. Halve each flattened veal piece widthways, then season meat.
  • 2.
    Lay a piece of prosciutto on each veal piece and top with 2 sage leaves. Secure with a toothpick.
  • 3.
    Heat oil and half the butter in a large, shallow frypan over high heat. When very hot, cook veal, prosciutto-side down, for 1 minute (in batches if necessary). Turn and continue cooking for a further 30 seconds, then transfer to a plate and keep warm. Pour wine into the pan to deglaze.
  • 4.
    Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until reduced, scraping up bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • 5.
    Add the remaining butter and stir to melt.
  • 6.
    Serve the veal with the sauce poured over, accompanied by baby green beans.
