Saltimbocca Alla Romana

There are a few veal saltimbocca recipes here, but i hadn't seen the very traditional, very simple one. This is all about showcasing a few fresh, flavorful ingredients for a superb dish. This is very nice served over some wilted spinach, and if you're not a veal person, you can easily substitute pounded chicken breast.

Steps

Pound veal between sheets of waxed paper until thin and even.

Place one sage leaf on each piece of veal and cover with the prosciutto , secure with a toothpick if needed.

Heat frying pan to hot , but not smoking , add butter and olive oil.

Saut veal on the side without the prosciutto approx 3 minutes.
