Saltimbocca is an Italian dish that consists of tenderized veal (or other types of meat) cooked with flavorful ingredients such as prosciutto ham and aromatic sage leaves. It translates to “jumps in the mouth” due to its delightful taste and texture. To make this delicious meal, follow these steps:
- Prepare the veal or other selected cut of meat by pounding it with a meat mallet until evenly thin.
- Season the tenderized meat with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil on both sides to promote flavor absorption.
- Arrange two sage leaves on one side of the meat (if using fresh). If you’re opting for dried sage, sprinkle it evenly over your cut of meat.
- Place a slice of prosciutto ham on top of the sage, making sure to cover the entire area with sage leaves or crushed dried sage.
- Using toothpicks or wooden skewers, securely fasten the prosciutto and sage onto your cut of meat.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, then add butter. Once it’s melted, place the saltimbocca in the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side until thoroughly cooked.
- Remove toothpicks or skewers and transfer the Saltimbocca to a plate or platter to rest for a few minutes.
- Drizzle your finished Saltimbocca with some of the buttery sauce from the pan, and serve hot over pasta or mashed potatoes.
Enjoy this scrumptious Italian dish that tantalizes taste buds while providing a delightful culinary experience!
