Saltimbocca alla Romana Recipe
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 pounds veal or turkey cutlets
- 3 medium sage leaves for each cutlet
- 2 slices prosciutto for each cutlet
- 3/4 cup dry Marsala wine
- Mash together garlic with salt and pepper to taste (keeping in mind that the prosciutto in the next step is also salty) to form a paste.
- Spread a little of the paste on veal (or turkey) cutlets and arrange 3 sage leaves atop each.
- Cover each cutlet with 2 thin slices of prosciutto.
- Secure the prosciutto and sage with wooden picks.
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil until shimmering.
- Saute 2 veal cutlets at a time, prosciutto side down, for about 1 minute.
- Turn over and saute 30 seconds, or until the veal is just cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked saltimbocca to a platter and loosely cover with foil to keep warm.
- Repeat, adding more oil, until all the cutlets are cooked.
- Pour off any excess oil from the skillet, then pour in Marsala wine and deglaze the skillet, scraping up any brown bits.
- Boil until the liquid is syrupy.
- Pull off and discard the toothpicks from the cutlets, drizzle the sauce atop, and serve.
