Veal and lemon saltimbocca
Ingredients- 4 veal scaloppine (¼-½ inch thick)
- 1 lemon (sliced thin)
- 4 slices proscuitto
- ½ cup white wine
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 14½ oz can whole tomatoes (drained and chopped)
- ½ cup cream
- sage
Instructions- Season the veal scaloppine with salt and pepper.
- Add two slices of lemon to each scaloppa, and a sage leaf on each lemon slice.
- Press a slice of proscuitto on each scaloppa.
- Warm olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat.
- Sauté the scaloppine, proscuitto side down, for 2 minutes.
- Turn over and sauté for 1 minute.
- Keep scaloppine warm in the oven while cooking the sauce.
- Deglaze the skillet with the white wine, scraping the burnt bits.
- Add the chicken broth and allow to reduce.
- Add tomatoes, cream, salt and pepper.
- Top the veal with the sauce and add some chopped sage.
Notes- So delicious!
- Really quick; around 20 minutes to prepare and cook.
- Quite expensive; $16 for the veal, $4 for the proscuitto.
- I used really thin veal scaloppine from Whole Foods, and overcooked it a bit. 1 minute on each side might have been enough.
