Ingredients
- Veal fillets4
- Prosciutto4–8 slices
- Sage1
- White wine¼
- Flour1 bowl
- Butter50 g
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Place each veal piece between sheets of baking paper and pound with a meat mallet until an even thickness.
- Lay a slice of prosciutto over each veal piece, put a sage leaf in the center, and secure with a toothpick.
- Lightly flour both sides of each piece, shake off the excess, and set on a plate.
- In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 3-4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, add the butter and let it melt, then add the remaining sage leaves.
- Place the veal sage-side down and cook about 2 minutes, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until the prosciutto is slightly crisp and the veal is golden.
- Pour in a splash of white wine, aiming for the pan rather than the meat. Swirl the pan, adding another splash if needed, until the sauce reduces and turns slightly creamy.
