Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 53m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
4 cloves garlic, slivered
1 (10 ounce) package baby spinach leaves
1 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
12 (4 ounce) thinly-sliced veal cutlets
24 sage leaves
12 slices prosciutto
¾ cup Marsala wine
1 tablespoon butter, or to taste
2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until sizzling, about 30 seconds. Stir in spinach leaves; cover skillet. Reduce heat to low and cook until spinach is just wilted, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Mix flour, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl. Press each cutlet into flour mixture to coat; shake off excess flour. Place the floured cutlets onto a plate while flouring the rest; do not stack. Place 2 sage leaves and 1 prosciutto slice on each floured cutlet, roll cutlets, and secure with toothpicks at each end. Refrigerate cutlet rolls for 30 minutes.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook cutlet rolls until veal is browned but still slightly pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Place cooked cutlets in a baking dish and place in preheated oven to keep warm.
  • Pour Marsala wine into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Stir in butter until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Place spinach on a large serving platter. Place cutlets on top of spinach, pour Marsala Wine mixture over the cutlets, and top with hard-boiled egg slices to serve.

VEAL SALTIMBOCCA "MILANESE STYLE"



Veal Saltimbocca

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 1 chop

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 12-ounce bone-in veal rib chop
5 thin slices fontina cheese (about 1 ounce total)
6 small fresh sage leaves
4 thin slices prosciutto, such as Prosciutto San Daniele
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Optional serving suggestions: Parmesan shavings, fried sage leaves and grilled lemon slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Using a sharp thin knife, cut a slit into the flesh side of the veal chop almost to the bone. With your hand placing pressure on the top of the chop, move the knife in a slicing motion to form a 3-inch pocket in the chop. Cover the chop with a piece of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet or a small heavy skillet, gently pound the chop until it is about 1/3 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and discard. Stuff one piece of the fontina cheese into the pocket and close the meat around it. On one side of the chop, place 3 small sage leaves on the meat. Cover the sage leaves with 2 pieces of cheese and follow that with 2 pieces of prosciutto. Turn over the chop and repeat on the other side.
  • Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow dishes and season each of them with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Season the flour with the pepper. Dredge both sides of the prosciutto-wrapped veal chop in the flour and shake off the excess. Then place the chop into the egg, followed by the panko, packing the breadcrumbs on to the chop to help them stick.
  • In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the breaded chop and cook until the breadcrumbs on the first side are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using tongs or a spatula, carefully flip the chop and continue to cook until the other side is golden brown as well. Remove the chop to a baking tray and roast in the oven until cooked to 155 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow the veal to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve topped with Parmesan shavings and fried sage along with grilled lemon on the side if desired.

Categories     Sauté     Dinner     Meat     Veal     Prosciutto     Sage     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound veal loin, cut into 8 (2-ounce) pieces
16 fresh sage leaves
16 slices prosciutto
All-purpose flour, as needed
1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Arrange two slices of veal between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a mallet to gently pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with the remaining veal. Arrange two leaves of sage and two slices of prosciutto on each piece of veal, and press lightly to adhere. Lightly dust the prosciutto side of each piece of veal with a small amount of flour.
  • 2. In a large sauté pan over moderately high heat, warm the olive oil. Working in batches if necessary, sauté the veal, prosciutto side down first, until the prosciutto is crispy and the veal is just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Set cooked pieces aside on a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep them warm.
  • 3. Remove any excess oil from the pan and deglaze the pan with the stock or broth. Add the butter to the pan and reduce by about one third until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Return the meat to the pan and continue cooking to heat through as needed, about 1 minute. Serve the meat with the sauce spooned over top.

Tips:

  • To tenderize the veal, you can pound it thin with a meat mallet or use a fork to pierce it all over.
  • If you don't have prosciutto, you can substitute it with thinly sliced ham or pancetta.
  • Use fresh sage leaves for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh sage, you can use dried sage, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the veal. Cook it in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the veal saltimbocca immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Veal saltimbocca is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its tender veal, crispy prosciutto, and flavorful sage, it's a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
