🇮🇹 Italian

Prosciutto saltimbocca the Roman way — thin cutlets crowned with sage and prosciutto, flash-seared in butter and finished with a splash of white wine. Saltimbocca literally means 'jump in the mouth', and this is on the table in under thirty minutes.

Instructions

1
Flatten the Prosciutto to thumb-thickness, sage on top, prosciutto pressed over the sage to hold it in place.
2
Warm olive oil and half the butter in a skillet until the butter turns nut-gold.
3
Sear prosciutto-side first for two crisp minutes, flip, then ninety seconds — overcooking is the only way to ruin this dish.
4
Remove the Prosciutto, add the wine, and let it boil hard, lifting the caramelised bits into a quick pan sauce.
5
Mount the sauce with the remaining butter until it turns glossy and coats a spoon.
6
Plate the Prosciutto sage-side up, pour the sauce around and over, and serve with lemon if you like.

Chef's tip

Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
