🇮🇹 Italian

Butter, sage, prosciutto, wine — four flavours that turn quick-seared Italian Sausage into saltimbocca alla romana. The pan sauce reduces to a syrup while you plate, so everything lands on the table hot and glistening.

Instructions

1
Pat the Italian Sausage dry and pound it gently between parchment to an even thinness — saltimbocca cooks in minutes, so evenness is everything.
2
Lay a leaf of sage on each piece, drape with prosciutto, and press firmly so the two bond as they cook.
3
Heat the butter with a thread of olive oil in a wide pan until it foams but doesn't brown.
4
Sear the Italian Sausage prosciutto-side down for two minutes to crisp, then flip for just one minute more — the meat should stay pale and tender.
5
Lift the Italian Sausage out and pour the white wine into the pan, scraping and reducing to a glossy, savoury glaze.
6
Return the Italian Sausage to the pan for a warm bath in the pan sauce, plate with the sauce spooned over, and serve at once.

Chef's tip

Prep everything before the heat goes on — italian cooking moves fast once it starts.
