Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal cutlets
• 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
• 4 slices Thinly sliced prosciutto
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 0.25 cups Chicken stock
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the veal cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to gently pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 2

Season both sides of the veal cutlets with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Place 2 sage leaves on each veal cutlet, then lay a slice of prosciutto over the top, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 4

Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted and hot.

Step 6

Cook the veal cutlets, prosciutto side down first, for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly golden and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let it cook for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Add the chicken stock to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce reduce by about half, 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to finish the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Return the veal cutlets to the skillet briefly to warm through and coat in the sauce.

Step 11

Serve the veal saltimbocca hot, spooning some of the sauce over the top of each piece. Pair with your choice of side, such as sautéed spinach or roasted potatoes.
