Saltimbocca relies on the combination of prosciutto and sage and is a classic that pairs with just about any side or salad.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (8-oz.) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
3 large eggs, beaten to blend
2 cups panko
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
8 sage leaves
4 thin slices prosciutto
2 cups vegetable oil
4 scallions, very thinly sliced on a diagonal
8 oz. sugar snap peas, strings removed, thinly sliced
1/2 cup mint leaves, torn if large
2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Flaky sea salt
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a chicken breast on a cutting board. Holding a knife parallel to board and working along a long side, cut through center of breast until you are 1/2" from the other side. Open like a book and place butterflied breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound as thin as possible without tearing meat-about 1/4" thick and 8" wide is ideal. Repeat with remaining breast.
  • Place eggs, panko, and flour in separate shallow bowls (cake pans or pie plates work great). Season cutlets lightly with kosher salt. Working with 1 cutlet at a time, press 2 sage leaves onto both sides of meat. Wrap 2 pieces of prosciutto around each cutlet. Dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, letting excess drip back into bowl. Coat in panko, pressing lightly to help it adhere, then shaking off excess. Place cutlets on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until very hot (an instant-read thermometer should register 350°F-375°F). Carefully lower 1 cutlet along the side of the skillet closest to you and let it slide into oil so it's lying flat. Swirl oil in skillet carefully so that cutlet is submerged and cook just until bottom side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; season with kosher salt. Let sit 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining cutlet.
  • Toss scallions, peas, mint, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil in a medium bowl; season with kosher salt. Arrange cutlets on a platter and top with pea salad. Sprinkle with sea salt; serve with lemons.

PORK SALTIMBOCCA

Provided by Chef John

Time 2h35m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (1 1/4 pound) pork tenderloin
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
12 fresh sage leaves, or as needed
4 large, thin slices prosciutto
2 teaspoons all purpose flour for dusting
2 tablespoons olive oil
⅔ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon butter
chopped pork trimmings (optional)
1 cup homemade or low-sodium chicken broth
½ cup water, or as needed
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin

Steps:

  • Remove silvery membrane from surface of the tenderloin with a sharp knife. Reserve the trimmings. Trim off the small "head" pieces of the tenderloin where there is a natural separation; this is optional. Reserve.
  • Cut tenderloin in half crosswise to make 2 equal portions. Cut each half lengthwise in half to make 4 pieces. Transfer to a bowl; refrigerate while you start the sauce.
  • Chop the reserved trimmings very fine. Melt butter in a pot over medium-high heat until caramelized and nicely browned, 4 or 5 minutes. Stir in broth and gelatin. Stir in water. Cook and stir over medium or medium-low heat at a low simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 1 1/2 hours. Add more water if it reduces too quickly.
  • Place pork sections between to pieces of plastic wrap. Pound to a thickness of about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Turn each piece over. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Dust very lightly with about 2 teaspoons flour. Flip back over; sprinkle with black pepper only. Press 3 sage leaves onto surface of each piece of pork. Cover completely with prosciutto, cutting or tearing strips to fit. A bit of overlap is okay.
  • Place sheet of plastic wrap back over the pork and pound very lightly to make sure the prosciutto sticks to the pork. Transfer to a plate; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
  • Strain pork broth into a bowl.
  • Place skillet over high heat; add olive oil. When olive oil is hot and shimmering, place pork pieces in the oil prosciutto side down. Cook about 3 minutes. Carefully turn pieces and cook another minute. Remove skillet from heat. Transfer pork to warm serving plates.
  • Blot excess oil from skillet with paper towels. Add wine and pork broth. Cook over high heat until mixture thickens and reduces by about half, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Spoon hot sauce over pork sections.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality pork chops. Look for chops that are thick and evenly cut, with little marbling.
  • To make sure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork chops by cutting into one of them. The chops should be cooked through, but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Use a good quality sage. Fresh sage is best, but dried sage can also be used. If using dried sage, use about half the amount of fresh sage.
  • Serve the pork saltimbocca immediately with the pea puree. The pea puree can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving.

Conclusion:

Pork saltimbocca is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of pork, sage, and prosciutto is classic, and the pea puree adds a fresh and creamy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
