About Saltimboca

Saltimbocca is a traditional Italian dish, most commonly associated with Roman cuisine, renowned for its simplicity and bold flavors. The dish typically features thinly sliced veal, chicken, or pork that is layered with prosciutto and fresh sage, then pan-cooked in butter and white wine. Its name, meaning "jumps in the mouth," reflects the vibrancy of its savory taste. While Saltimbocca provides protein and the aromatic benefits of sage, its healthiness depends on preparation. The use of butter and cured meats like prosciutto adds saturated fat and sodium, which some may wish to moderate. Opting for leaner cuts of meat and sautéing with olive oil instead of butter can improve its nutritional profile. Pairing it with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad completes the meal with balance. Despite its indulgences, Saltimbocca remains a flavorful way to explore hearty Italian cooking in moderation.
