My family likes veal and this comes out very tender and flavorful. Can't be any easier too. I like to add the toothpicks so you don't lose the ham and sage. Serve with polenta or potatoes covered in the sauce.

Ingredients For veal saltimbocca

  • 11/2 lb
    veal cutlets
  • pinch
    salt and pepper
  • 1/2 c
    flour
  • 1/4 lb
    prosciutto

How To Make veal saltimbocca

  • 1
    Cut the veal into small medallions, making 2-3 medallions per serving, pound veal but not too thin. Salt and pepper both sides of meat.
  • 2
    Trim prosciutto to fit the medallion or fold it to fit. Layer one slice on each piece of veal and top with a sage leaf. Use a toothpick to secure, right down the center of the medallion.
  • 3
    Flour each peice, shaking off excess flour
  • 4
    Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in large skillet. Saute veal, ham side down first and the meat will adhere to the veal. Repeat until all the veal is done.
  • 5
    Add the wine (or chicken stock) scraping up the little bits on the bottom. Cook down until desired consistency. Splash some lemon juice and finally add the butter for a nice gloss.
  • 6
    Don't forget to remove the toothpicks
  • 7
    Serve and enjoy
