Saltimbocca is a classic Italian dish that originates from Rome and showcases tender veal, traditionally wrapped in prosciutto and fresh sage leaves. Cooked in a rich butter or olive oil-based sauce, it’s often infused with white wine for extra depth of flavor. Variations may use chicken or pork instead of veal, offering a slightly different consistency and taste. While Saltimbocca is celebrated for its savory, melt-in-your-mouth quality, it’s also moderately high in sodium due to the prosciutto. Its protein-rich profile makes it appealing for muscle repair and energy, but the butter or oil used can add saturated fats, especially with generous portions. Pairing it with steamed vegetables or a light salad can help balance its richness and make it a more health-conscious meal choice while keeping the authentic flavor intact.
