🇮🇹 Italian

A Roman classic: sage-perfumed Prosciutto 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 Prosciutto 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 Prosciutto 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

A final squeeze of lemon just before serving lifts every other flavour.
