Saltimbocca
- 4 small 1/4-inch thick veal scallopini
- 4 thin slices of prosciutto
- 4 whole fresh leaves of sage
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- Salt and pepper
- Pound scallopini between pieces of plastic wrap until thin.
- Top each of the slices with a slice of prosciutto and a sage leaf.
- Secure prosciutto and sage leaf to the veal with a toothpick.
- Melt the butter in a pan large enough to accommodate the 4 veal slices and brown them on both sides for a few minutes.
- Sprinkle with fresh pepper and lightly with salt (prosciutto is already salty).
- Add white wine and reduce quickly over high heat until almost glazed.
- The whole procedure should not take longer than 5 minutes.
- Serve with "instant" polenta and/or saute of mushrooms and parsley.
