Saltimbocca Alla Romana Recipes

Steps:

• Put the veal cutlets side by side on a sheet of plastic wrap. Lay a piece of prosciutto on top of each piece of veal and cover with another piece of plastic. Gently flatten the cutlets with a rolling pin or meat mallet, until the pieces are about 1/4-inch thick and the prosciutto has adhered to the veal. Remove the plastic wrap and lay a couple of sage leaves in the center of each cutlet. Weave a toothpick in and out of the veal to secure the prosciutto and sage. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to combine. Dredge the veal in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
• Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter and in a large skillet over medium flame. Put the veal in the pan, prosciutto-side down first. Cook for 3 minutes to crisp it up and then flip the veal over and saute the other side for 2 minutes, until golden. Transfer the saltimbocca to a serving platter, remove the toothpicks, and keep warm.
• Add the wine to the pan, stirring to bring up all the delicious flavor in the bottom; let the wine cook down for a minute to burn off some of the alcohol. Add the chicken broth and remaining tablespoon of butter, swirl the pan around. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the saltimbocca, garnish with sage leaves and lemon wedges; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Carefully flatten the breasts with the smooth side of a meat mallet, in between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Place 1 sage leaf and 1 slice of prosciutto on each chicken breast and spear them onto the breast with a wooden toothpick. In a large frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the breasts and pan-fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Lightly season the breasts with salt and pepper. Remove breasts from pan and keep warm.
• Dilute the pan juices with 1/4 cup white wine and bring to a rapid boil. With a heat resistant whisk, dissolve 1 tablespoon of butter into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper and return the breast to the pan and heat them up quickly.
• Serve on a preheated platter and drizzle with the pan juices.
