🇮🇹 Italian

A Roman classic: sage-perfumed Pork under a blanket of prosciutto, seared quickly so the meat stays tender, then deglazed with white wine into a glossy pan sauce. Simple, fast, and unapologetically savoury.

Instructions

1
Dry the Pork well, then build each piece: sage leaf, prosciutto blanket, pressed flat so nothing slides in the pan.
2
Heat the butter and oil in a wide pan over a lively flame until the foam subsides.
3
Fry the Pork in a single uncrowded layer, prosciutto down, two minutes, then flip for one — work in batches if needed.
4
Keep the first batch warm while the wine hits the empty pan and reduces by half with the sage.
5
Return everything to the pan for thirty seconds of mingling, tipping and basting.
6
Serve hot from the pan with the syrupy sauce and its sage leaves scattered over.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the dried oregano in the oil before adding anything wet.
