How To Make Veal Saltimbocca
- Serves:
- 2
- Preparation Time:
- 10 minutes
- Cooking Time:
- 15 minutes
- Total Time:
- 25 minutes
Step 1: You will need:
- 2 thin veal cutlets
- 4 sage leaves
- 2 slices of proscuitto
- 60 g butter
- 60 ml dry white wine
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped
- salt and pepper
- 1 frying pan
- wooden skewers
- 1 tray
- 1 set of tongs
- 1 spoon
Step 2: Prepare the veal
Place the veal onto a tray and put the sage leaves and the prosciutto on top. Join them together in a weaving action with the skewers. Turn them over and lightly season with salt as the ham is already salty, then season with pepper.
Step 3: Cook the cutlets
Place a frying pan onto a medium heat, add a little butter and let it melt. Place one or both cutlets, depending on your pan size, ham side down into the butter. Fry the cutlet for 1.5 to 2 minutes each side. Remove it from the pan after this time and place onto a tray. Add more butter and place the second veal cutlet into the pan. Let it cook, as before. Remove when cooked and place it onto the tray.
Step 4: Make the sauce
Add wine to the pan and the remaining butter. Stir it in with your spoon. When melted add the parsley. Season with salt then pepper and remove the pan from the heat.
Step 5: Serve
Remove the skewers from the cutlets and place them back into the pan. Coat them with the sauce. Your Veal Saltimbocca is now ready to serve. It goes really well with polenta, risotto and pasta.
Tips & Comments
This is great meal but if you can't easily find veal at your local store or are just looking for a more affordable alternative why not try using pork escalopes instead?
