Saltimbocca alla Romana (My Family's Recipe)

I hadn't had such a busy day in a long time—between hiking and working in the garden, by the time I got home, I really didn't feel like cooking, especially after walking 10 miles. Sometimes we forget about simple, delicious dishes, so here's a classic: saltimbocca alla Romana. I already had the veal cutlets and fresh sage. Not long ago, I was gifted some prosciutto, and this was the perfect occasion to open it. The prosciutto slices might not be perfectly thin or even, but honestly, I love that homemade imperfection. I served everything with a freshly picked butter lettuce salad and a good glass of wine. What can I say? Cheers to simplicity! 😊

Steps

20 minutes
  1. 1

    Prepare all the ingredients. Trim any excess fat from the veal cutlets. To make them thinner, place each cutlet between sheets of parchment paper and gently pound with a rolling pin. Cut each cutlet into four pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Wash and thoroughly dry the sage leaves. Slice the prosciutto. Now assemble each piece: place a piece of veal, top with a slice of prosciutto, add a sage leaf, and secure everything with a toothpick.

  3. 3

    Put some flour on a plate—you won't need much. Lightly flour only the underside of each piece of veal.

  4. 4

    Heat a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the veal pieces and cook for a few minutes over low heat, floured side down only. Pour in the white wine to deglaze, let it evaporate a bit, then cover the pan to finish cooking. It only takes a few minutes. Taste before adding salt, since the prosciutto is already quite salty.

  5. 5

    Arrange the saltimbocca on a plate and spoon the pan juices over the top. Serve immediately.
