Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 16 leaves Fresh sage leaves
• 8 slices Prosciutto
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 whole Lemon (for juice)

Directions

Step 1

Season the lamb cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Place 2 sage leaves on the surface of each lamb cutlet. Wrap each lamb cutlet tightly with a slice of prosciutto, securing the sage leaves in place.

Step 3

Lightly dust each prosciutto-wrapped lamb cutlet with flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb cutlets, seam-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the prosciutto is crisp and the lamb is browned. Remove the lamb cutlets from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the white wine and chicken stock. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet using a wooden spoon.

Step 6

Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon and stir to combine.

Step 7

Return the lamb cutlets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.

Step 8

Serve the lamb saltimbocca immediately, garnished with additional sage leaves if desired, and spoon the sauce over each plate.
