How to prepare: Saltimbocca alla romana


To prepare saltimbocca alla romana, start by cutting the slices of meat into regular pieces of the same size: do not make them too small, as the cooking meat will tend to shrink a little. Place a half slice of raw ham on each slice of meat. Place a sage leaf on each one and stop everything with a wooden toothpick.


Pass each slice in a little flour, shaking off excess. Heat the butter in a pan and place the meat on it, which you will brown for a few minutes on both sides. Adjust the salt, sprinkle with the wine and let it evaporate.

Finish with a grind of pepper, remove the saltimbocca from the heat and serve them immediately hot with their cooking juices as a sauce.
