Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Lay out the veal cutlets and place a slice of prosciutto and two sage leaves on each cutlet. Gently pound the cutlets with a meat mallet to adhere the prosciutto and sage to the meat.

  2. 2

    Season the Cutlets

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper on both sides of the veal cutlets to season them evenly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Veal

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the veal cutlets to the skillet, prosciutto side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add the dry white wine and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly reduced.

  3. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Return the veal cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Place the mozzarella cheese on top of each cutlet and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese, about 2 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Prepare the Spinach

    In a separate pan, sauté the fresh spinach in the remaining tablespoon of butter until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, create a bed of sautéed spinach, place the veal saltimbocca on top, and drizzle with the sauce from the skillet. Serve immediately.
