Pork Saltimbocca with Marsala Sauce
- 8 pork medallions (2 1/2 to 3 ounces each, about 1 1/2 pounds total), pounded thin
- Salt and pepper
- 4 thin slices Fontina Val dAosta cheese (about 4 ounces total) or other fontina
- 8 sage leaves
- 4 thin slices prosciutto (about 4 ounces total)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup marsala
- Juice and zest of 2 lemons
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup Chicken Stock (p. 206)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Preheat the oven to 325F.
- Season the pork medallions lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place one slice of cheese on top of each of 4 medallions and top each slice with 2 sage leaves.
- Cover the sage leaves with the prosciutto, then top with another pork medallion, making 4 sandwiches.
- Place each sandwich between two sheets of plastic wrap and smack with a mallet or the side of a cleaver to flatten slightly.
- Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet and, when almost smoking, add the pork sandwiches.
- Cook over medium-high heat until a nice brown crust forms, 23 minutes, then flip and repeat on the other side.
- Place the pan in the oven and cook for an additional 34 minutes, until you can see the cheese start to ooze out of the middle.
- Place the pork on a platter and keep warm in the oven while you make the sauce.
- Pour off any grease from the pan, then pour in the marsala, lemon juice, zest, and garlic.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
- Add the stock and return to a boil.
- Simmer over medium-high heat until reduced to 34 tablespoons.
- Whisk in the butter and season to taste with salt.
- Spoon over the pork and serve.
