VEAL SALTIMBOCCA



Veal Saltimbocca image

This classic Roman dish of thinly pounded veal, sage, and prosciutto cooks in under 5 minutes-and that includes making the pan sauce. Truly a dish that'll saltimbocca (Italian for "jump in your mouth")!

Provided by Tony Mantuano

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 thin veal cutlets (scaloppine), 5 oz each
12 sage leaves
4 ounces prosciutto, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil, divided
2 cups arugula
1/4 lemon
1 cup dry white wine, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

Steps:

  • Prep the veal: Stretch a sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Place a few drops of water on the plastic (to keep the meat from sticking), then put down a veal cutlet. Arrange 3 sage leaves on the veal; then place a layer of prosciutto over the sage leaves. Add a few more drops of water, then place another piece of plastic wrap on top. Using a rolling pin, pound the veal so the prosciutto adheres to the veal. Repeat with remaining veal, sage, and prosciutto. Chill cutlets in the refrigerator, 15 minutes.
  • Cook the veal: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Peel the plastic from the veal and dust with flour on both sides, shaking off excess. Season with black pepper. Working in batches, place 2 pieces of veal into the skillet, prosciutto side down. Cook until the edges start to brown, 2 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss arugula with ¼ cup olive oil and a generous squeeze of lemon juice; set aside.
  • After the cutlets have begun to brown on the edges, flip them over. Add ½ cup wine to deglaze the pan, then continue cooking to reduce the wine by half, shaking the pan over the heat, 30-60 seconds. Add 1 tablespoon butter and turn off the heat; swirl the pan around to melt the butter and bring the sauce together. Repeat with remaining veal, wine, and butter. Assembly: Place veal on a plate and spoon sauce on top; garnish with a generous helping of arugula before serving.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound wilted spinach (well-washed)
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
3 pounds thinly sliced veal cutlets
Potato flour or all-purpose flour, for dusting
6 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup demi-glace (brown sauce)
12 fresh sage leaves, chopped or whole
6 slices prosciutto
6 ounces sliced Swiss cheese
1/2 stick butter, cut into cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Buttered noodles or julienned steamed vegetables, as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Steam the spinach, then set aside to drain well and cool.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a saute pan, dust the veal cutlets with flour and shake off any excess. Sear the veal on both sides quickly, just to brown coating. Be careful not to overcook veal. Remove cutlets to a baking sheet and allow to cool. (You want the cooking process to stop.) To the same pan add the butter and garlic, allowing butter to melt and sizzle for a short while. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, then add the demi-glace and allow this sauce to reduce by half.

Place into the oven on the top rack only long enough to melt cheese and warm. Do not leave in too long. You do not want the veal to cook any further.
  • To finish sauce, remove from heat and whisk in cubed butter. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Spoon sauce onto serving plate and top with veal cutlet. Serve with buttered noodles or steamed julienned vegetables as an accompaniment.

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, flavorful vegetables and herbs will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the scaloppine. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the scaloppine over medium-high heat for a quick sear. This will help create a nice crust and prevent the meat from overcooking.
  • Finish the scaloppine with a flavorful sauce. This could be a simple butter and lemon sauce, a rich mushroom sauce, or a tangy tomato sauce.
