    In my younger days as a journeyman cook, I worked in a good restaurant and prepared this many times a shift. We used fresh sage, but to lower cost, we used veal from the leg, butchered in house. Since it's tougher than loin, we would use a meat mallet to make escalopes, then lay the sage, then the prosciutto, then pound it all together to a uniform thickness. Salt and pepper, dredged and sauteed in olive oil and clarified butter, topped with Fontina, hit the pan with garlic and shallot, deglazed with marsala followed by good veal stock, reduced, finished with butter and plated. 40 years later, I can still go through the motions in my head and taste it. Guess I need to go to the local butcher shop now, I'm hungry!

      @@MrNoipe The chef had a point (as does @sibionic). Large mature sage leaves can be too distracting in texture (especially when sandwiched in between the meats ). Young fresh leaves are no problem - and are what I use by preference - I grow my own. Yes dried sage is cheaper, but (depending on time of year) it may also be the better option.

    Does the original traditional recipe call for cooking it in a mix of butter and olive oil? Does it specify a specific kind of white wine?

    • @DWFood
      @DWFood  Před 7 měsíci +9

      There are different recipes for Saltimbocca, so you might use the ingredients you prefer the most. But the white wine should be dry and not too sweet.

    I make this with turkey cutlet. Cheaper, rich enough to compliment the sauce, and no one gives you grief about baby animals. Also use a dry sherry and braise the prosciutto in the sauce, don't pin it to the meat. The flour makes a roux with the meat juice and sherry. Half and half on the fresh v dried sage, but I use dalmatian. The stuff in the video looked enemic, but it might just be veal and the wet veil of uncooked prosciutto
